Oxford City Morris Men in action
OXFORD City Morris Men have been touring pubs in the city to entertain drinkers.
Ten dancers and four musicians were in Plantation Road, North Oxford, outside the Gardeners’ Arms on Wednesday, performing traditional Cotswold Morris dances. Dancer Duncan Drummond, 58, from Abingdon – pictured second from left – said: “I have been a member of Oxford Morris since 1975 and we go out every week during the summer to visit different pubs around the city.
“Occasionally people ignore us but usually we get a very good reception which is what happened at the Gardeners’ Arms.

It's good to see such an old form of celebration continued into the 21st century.
