1130 Massed Morris Dancers
The Morris Dancing team of King’s Lynn, the King’s Morris was formed in 1978. Like most modern teams, they are a revival side; a team formed in a town that does not have a tradition of Morris Dancing.

1315 The Kentwell Players are a group of travelling musicians named for the hall in Suffolk that brought them together. They are often found portraying the lives of 16th-century travelling players, although their historical and musical interests span from medieval to modern times.
Performing at festivals and events up and down the country, they showcase historical entertainment of many kinds, including music and song, juggling and plays, dance and jests, using period appropriate instruments, clothing and props.
Some instruments on show could include loud Renaissance winds such as shawms, rauschpfeife, sackbut and bagpipes – quieter instruments such as recorders and pipe and tabor – the evocative sound of the Hurdy Gurdy, and of course all held together with the beat of the drum.

1445 The King’s Lynn u3a Shanty Singers started singing together in April 2023. We sing a broad range of shanties and songs of the sea and enjoy sharing their origins. They thoroughly enjoy singing together and encourage audiences to join in with choruses, believing that singing is good for us all. They perform mainly at community and social events, raising money for charity.
