The Buckland What?
They strike up the Devils Dance withall: then martch this heathen company towards the church and churchyards, their pypers pyping, the drummers thundering, their stumpes dancing, their belles jyngling, their handkercheefes fluttering about their heads like madde men. (Philip Stubbes, Anatomie of Abuses 1583)

The Buckland Shag Morris Men is a Cotswold morris side based in the Reigate area of Surrey. The name is taken from a local tradition of a monstrous horse which was said to inhabit the Shag Brook. The side appears at pubs in the area throughout the summer, and practices at Leigh Village Hall from September to May.

The Buckland Shag Morris Men are always happy to welcome new members, dancer or musiciaan; if you are in the Surrey area (and we have some long-distance members) please get in touch or just come to a practice evening. You might be surprised how normal we are!
