Join us for a potluck supper (bring a dish to share) and an
evening of old-fashioned (think medieval times) fun as we make merry
to celebrate the Winter Solstice. There will be plenty of
audience-participation: a Mummer’s Play, sing-along (song sheets
provided) plus a display of ancient ritual Morris Dancing and the
mysterious Abbotts Bromley Horn Dance, done by moonlight (be there
by 6:00 pm for this unique treat). Come alone, bring the family—it’s
an event where everyone is drawn into the fun.
