Mellstock Band Christmas Frolics
When? 16 December 2021
Where? Shire Hall Historic Courthouse Museum - Dorchester
THE MELLSTOCK BAND invite you to join them in an uproarious celebration of dance, drink and general misbehavior as carried on at Christmas in many villages until about a hundred years ago – along with sobering admonitions from puritans, parsons and angels.
Alongside the revelry are convivial harmony songs, rousing dance music, Thomas Hardy’s poetry set to local tunes, carols dedicated to bell-ringing and cider, glees from the singing-masters, and the Devil’s own tunes.
Venue: Shire Hall Historic Courthouse Museum 7pm. Please book tickets via the website below.
