Jig Competition

The 10th Cliff Barstow Jig Competition, Spa Foyer, Whitby, Tuesday 19th August 2025, 4.30pm

The Cliff Barstow jig competition, now in its tenth year, was set up as a memorial to Cliff, a founder member of White Rose Morris, father and grandfather of active members Ned Barstow and Liam Parker.

Cliff’s dancing was old-school Cotswold Morris – economical, straightforward and graceful – and these are the qualities that we are encouraging and looking for in the Jig competition.
