Workshop – Medieval Winter 29 November

Our workshop on 29th November at 2pm in the Guide HQ on Birch Road, is a talk by Local historian Kim Harding. See below for a taster of her talk and then sign up to hear the full story!

Medieval Winter

Exploring the customs of the preceding months and how late fifteenth century folk both celebrated and survived the darkest months of the year, Kim Harding’s illustrated talk on “Medieval Winter” will reveal how festivities and feasting were only a part of the seasonal activities of Yuletide, New Year and beyond. If you have ever wondered what medieval revelries and Christmas traditions have been handed down to us today, come and find out just how long the season of Christmas really lasted and what outrageous knavery was permitted by both the Church and the royal court in its ‘topsy-turvy’ days.

Cost £5. Tickets available from Sue Overton 07512 368884
