"A Twelfth Night Entertainment" £6

Service Description

"Twelfth Night" with The Leeds Waits. Come and join us to explore the customs , music and other entertainment of Twelfth Night from centuries past, in times when it was a major feature of the Christmas season, not just the day to take down the decorations if you hadn't already done so! Featuring Boy Bishops, Bean Kings, Lords of Misrule, lambswool, masques, anti-masques, tall tales and more - an odd way to celebrate the arrival of the Magi! By the way... how far can one travel on a camel in twelve days?! Expect music, stories and a goodly helping of audience participation! (Event NOT suitable for children). Dorothy Parkin and The Leeds Waits perform at stately homes and heritage events around the region, and for organisations such as English Heritage and The National Trust. The Waits have performed on radio and television, and also have thirty years experience of playing for historical dance groups. They play authentic music on authentic instruments, always performing in appropriate historical dress. Ticket Price is just £6 and includes your choice of coffee or tea and a brownie bite. Please arrive in good time so we have time to prepare your drink before the performance commences!
