Morris sides from across the South West and beyond will gather along the seafront to showcase a vibrant mix of styles. Expect high-energy performances featuring the beat of drums, the hum of accordions, the jingle of bells, and the clatter of sticks.

The day begins at 11:00am with a lively parade of all participating sides, starting from Cobb Gate and moving along the seafront.

At 12:00pm, the groups will be introduced, followed by performances at various locations including:
