A team of morris dancers begins its 2001 programme with a "walking tour" round an Oxfordshire town.

Kirtlington Morris will dance around Woodstock on Saturday, March 10, with guest teams Leominster Morris and Elephant up a Pole - a border morris side from Coventry.

Dancing begins at about 11am at the Black Prince pub and then moves to the Kings Head at noon, The Star at 1pm and finishes at The Queen's Own at about 2pm.

This is the second year Kirtlington Morris has held a walking tour.

The side is responsible for the Kirtlington Lamb Ale Morris Festival every summer, which attracts teams from all over England.
