We have scoured the internet for confirmed appearances over the Yuletide period and pestered all our "baggers". It is now a very long page so we have separated out Boxing Day and Beyond onto its own page
Please let us know of any changes or additions, especially those traditional appearances that are shown as To be confirmed (TBC).
This is the time-of-year for many Guisers and Mumming Plays. Tracking the many performances is difficult ... search the Master Mummers performance index. We suggest non-Ring mumming groups notify them of their event. Sword Dancers are also out in force - see <Sword Dance Union>. Also see this list of Midwinter Sword Dancing from Rattle Up My Boys, a magazine for longsword dancers, kindly provided by its publisher Jeff Lawson. Many are included in the traditional list below but there are several others.
