BELFAGAN BIDS YOU WELCOME
Welcome to the all-new, completely revamped Belfagan website. We've been online for
five or six years now, and this is the third version of the site. I hope you find it loads much
more quickly than previous versions, but retains that je ne sais quoi that makes
Belfagan the unique morris side it is.
WHO ARE WE?
For new visitors, we should explain that Belfagan is an all-female side, established in 1981.
We had a big ceilidh in 2002 to celebrate our 21st birthday, and now that we are fully grown
up we are better than ever.
WHERE ARE WE?
We're based in Cockermouth, an attractive, lively market town just outside the Lake
District National Park in Cumbria: our members, however, live in many of the local villages
and towns.
WHERE TO FIND US
We practise every Monday evening during autumn & winter in All Saints Church
Rooms, Kirkgate - newcomers are always welcome. During spring & summer we dance out
around local pubs throughout the Lake District and further afield. Visit our diary page for more details of this year's
events.

WHAT DO WE DO?
We follow mostly the North West Morris tradition, and some of our dances are
named after places in our area, like Keswick, Wigton, Eaglesfield or the
Cumberland
Crown.
We also have our own dance, named, with great originality, Belfagan, as well as a
new dance created especially for our 21st birthday, called Cockermouth. Perhaps one
day we'll master it..........

tunes we use.
We have a happy, relaxed attitude to what we do, and never take ourselves too seriously.
