Plum Jerkum Border Morris of Warwick

Plum Jerkum are the town of Warwick's very own mixed Border Morris side! We practice most alternate Monday evenings, 8.00-10.00pm, in the Northgate Methodist Church Hall on the corner of Barrack Street and Northgate Street in Warwick Town Centre.

PJ dance in the Border Morris tradition which originated in the border counties of England and Wales. We uphold the tradition of wearing colourful rag jackets, and have the option of wearing face makeup as a form of disguise.

 

Our next practice evening is now on Monday the 14th January. Our next event is our annual wassail in Long Itchington on Saturday 19th January. With invited sides Alvechurch, Aelfgytha and Anstey the dancing starts at 11.00am at the Buck and Bell and moving onto the Green Man and Harvesters. Potential new members age 16 to 70+ always welcome to give it a try on our practice nights. No  previous experience required!

Border Morris is a winter tradition but nowadays you can see us all year round at many local and national events and festivals. In early January we can be seen in the village of Long Itchington on our Annual Wassail Tour where we are seen to drive 'evil beasties' from the fruit trees to promote a good harvest for the next year (for even more Plum Jerkum!)
