Rivington Morris

Rivington Morris

Rivington Morris are a Women's team of North West Morris Dancers

These demure cultured women hail from near Bolton in Lancashire. Their clogs have been heard as far afield as Sidmouth, Germany, France, Holmfirth, Wigan, Accrington and Blackrod Carnival. Hundreds have looked on in awe and marvelled at their stunning stepping, precision, music and reinforced foundation garments. On-lookers have been heard to say "Rivington have that certain indefinable something that Northern teams have ...."Make room - these Women take no prisoners".

Do not refer to these women as 'ladies', or you may encounter one of their infamous 'Clog Butties'.

Twee they are not ... see for yourself!”

Thankfully that’s how they describe themselves
