Headington Quarry has had a long association with the folk tradition and is well known for its revival ofMorris dancing after Cecil Sharp met William Kimber and the Quarry Morris men on Boxing Day in 1899. The Headington Quarry Folk Dance Club was re-established in November 1967 after a break of a few years, to continue the tradition of country dancing which dates back beyond the 17th century. Members enjoy some of the original dances and learning some old ones recently discovered and others which have been constructed by present-day enthusiasts. Instruction is from experienced Club callers and from some visiting callers. The Quarry Club members are fortunate to have resident musicians, often joined by folk musicians from elsewhere.
