Knutsford Royal May Day

Manchester Morris Men have been dancing in the procession accompanying the May Queen at Knutsford since 1979. This continues a long tradition of Morris Men at Knutsford, started when the Godley Hill Royal Morris Dancers first danced in the procession in 1878.  This page shows the MMM in the procession in recent years.

Many thanks to the photographers who have given us permission to use their photographs.  If you have any that we could use, please with them.
