An exhibition about Morris dancing in Oxfordshire is to be displayed by the university’s Bate Collection.
The exhibition, entitled “Oxfordshire Morris Dancing: a living tradition”, will run from 3 March – 3 April at the Music faculty buildings next to Christ Church.”
The items and photos in the exhibition, which have been loaned or supplied by Oxfordshire Morris sides, include a striped, painted fiddle, a buzzard mask, and a fool’s costume from the 1950s.
Project manager Alice Little, said: The entire exhibition is intended to show that whilst Oxfordshire hosts some of the oldest Morris sides in the country, there are a host of new sides being formed.
“And contrary to recent press coverage, a lot of young people are involved.”
