The Hinckley Bullockers are a morris/molly dancing side who mark the ancient customs of Plough Monday – but to fit in better with the modern calendar they perform on the Saturday nearest instead. In the Leicestershire area Plough Monday performers were known as Bullockers and they covered their faces in red raddle as a disguise, while touring the districts houses and pubs requesting donations and ale. Today the Hinckley side tour around the villages of Sharnford, Sapcote and Stoney Stanton with their beribboned plough….. ale for the dancers and cash donations for charity will be welcome!

Helpful Hints

In 2026 it was on Saturday January 10th- 2027 date is yet to be confirmed but likely to be 9th. Check the links below for any last-minute changes to the schedule.

All times are approximate!! In 2014 by mid afternoon were running a whopping half-hour ahead of schedule (we usually find that morris time runs behind the regular clock but not in this case!).
