« on: Wednesday 10 December 08 17:44 GMT (UK) »
Has anyone participated in Mummering either as a visitor or host/hostess?

One more charge and then be dumb,

        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

....................St George


( I've seen more mummers' plays than I care to remember. A group of my friends is working on one for twelfth night, so I'll have to watch that one at least twice. )

Hi Scrimnet and genjen,

Thanks for responding.   So, the play with St. George continues in England?   Do you have any photos of the plays?

Sounds like a good time is had by all.       ;D ;D

The ones I've seen are usually done in pubs with a collection afterwards for charity.   (Morrismen are usually all quite 'mad'   :D 8))

Oi oi oi oi!!!  ::) ::) ::) ::) :o :o :o


Don't judge people by your own standards!  :P :P :P :P ;)

One of the best Morris Sides I know that does Mumming at Xmas is the Moulton Morris Men of Moulton in Northants...

Actually most of the sides in Northamptonshire put out a Mummers play each year....



BTW The Morris have "sides" not teams! :D :D :D :D ;)

Hmmph hum, she says, clearing her throat - wash yer mouth out. Most of my best friends are dorris mancers and we are all entirely sane. By our own standards

Morris "sides" or "teams" - if you can be bothered to talk morris bo****ks, there is quite a split opinion on that. Ours is a side but others have teams.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Meant it in the nicest possible way, hence the faces   :)    Know quite a few of 'em personally. 
Sorry about the 'teams' terms  :-[
