A SANDBEDS pub is staging a day of dance to raise money for Manorlands.

A wide range of traditional Morris dancing styles – including border, North West and Cotswold – will be on show at the June 3 event, at the Airedale Heifer.

Sides from across the north have been invited to attend.

Among those expected to take part are Persephone, The Flagcrackers of Craven, Crook Morris, Rainbow Morris, Clogorythm, Buttercross Belles and Fiddle & Feet.

Performances will begin at noon, with an opportunity for the public to join in.

And between 4.30pm and 5pm, there will be a mass dance involving all the sides.

A collection will be taken and there will be a raffle, with all proceeds going to the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice.

Airedale Heifer manager Heather Hawker, who is organising the event, said it promised to be a fantastic day.

She added: "The public is invited to bring along musical instruments and continue the music, song and dance session informally into the evening."
