Widcombe Mummers

The Widcombe Mummers began in 2005 and performed for the first time on New Year’s Day 2006.

Performances are now held every New Year’s Day starting from St Thomas A Becket Church at noon. Performance venues are (depending on circumstances) Widcombe Manor, Widcombe Crescent, and Prior Park Garden Centre. The players process from place to place preceded by musicians playing tunes carefully chosen to stir the blood and ward off evil weather. Each performance lasts about eight minutes and ends with a song.
