Welcome to Adlington Morris Men 

 
About Adlington Morris Men Adlington is a small village in Cheshire, located between the towns of Stockport and Macclesfield. Its principal feature is the manor house, Adlington Hall. Members of the side come from a wide area to practice and perform the traditional dances of England. They do so for the fun, friendship, fitness and liquid fortification associated with Morris Dancing Formed in 1964, the Adlington Morris Men have earned an excellent reputation for their dancing and now perform a full programme throughout the spring and summer. Their dances are drawn mainly from those originating in the Cotswold and surrounding villages. They have developed a repertoire involving an individual style and interpretation, whilst still retaining the traditional elements of the dancehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adlington,_CheshireTraditions.htmlshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1
