Basingclog Morris Dancers are inviting the public to free taster evenings.

Starting from Tuesday, October 1, the sessions welcome both beginners and experienced dancers.

People can try out the traditional British dance form, which has been around for more than 500 years.

The practice season for Basingclog runs from October to March, with performances at various events.

Last year, the group opened for the Demon Barber Roadshow at The Anvil.

From April to September, the group performs at local pubs, fetes, and special events.

Emily Hendren-Allwright, Basingclog’s lead musician, said: "Our taster evenings are a great chance to try dancing with a supportive and fun group.

"Dancing is more fun than going to the gym.

"It’s great exercise and good for your mental wellbeing."

Basingclog practices at Sherfield-on-Loddon village hall on Tuesday evenings from Tuesday, October 1, 8pm to 9.30pm.
