Green Dragon Morris was formed in 1993 with a view to creating a mixed group of men and women dancers with a different style to the other established West Suffolk sides 

​

Experienced and totally novice dancers struggled with rants, capers  and sticking whilst experimenting with various styles and dances.

​

We were smiling and laughing most during the North West and Border dances so we decided to combine those styles  plus anything else that takes our fancy..

​

As with all traditions we have moved on from those beginnings and have created and borrowed dances from other sides ..

​

 At the risk of sounding like a Chinese takeaway we took our name from a local historical reference : 

​

" The Morris men's drink allowances were taken at the Green Dragon in Guildhall Street "

​

( John Oakes' Diaries 1741-1829 )

​

To add to our local identity , our logo above was created by Deborah Martin , who was inspired by a dragon carving at Norwich cathedral ......
