Geocache Description:


The Helier Morris Men was formed in 1975 and is still entertaining people with a range of dance including dances from the towns of Adderbury, Bampton-in-the-Bush, Bledington, Brackley, Bucknell, Fieldtown, Headington, Lichfield, Longborough, North Skelton (sword dances), Sherborne, Winster and not forgetting the Welsh Border dances.

They can be seen dancing in King Street on the late night shopping nights in the run up to Christmas, at the CAMRA beer festival and in January in apple orchards to help the cider crop for the summer months. May Day is especially important to all Morris dancers, as they welcome the summer from her sleep through the Winter and to wakeup Mother Earth, so the crops can be plentiful. On May Day each year, the Helier Morris men dance in all 12 parishes of Jersey, giving each the beginning to summer it deserves.

Over the late May Bank Holiday Weekend they host their Own Ale, where several Morris sides from the UK enjoy a weekend of good dancing, good food and it goes without saying good ale.

The above co ordinates are not where the cache is located but where the Morris Men start their May Day dancing from.

The cache is in an area that is frequently used by people so please ensure you are discreet or walk away until the area is clear
