Britain's What's On Event Guide
St Albans Mummers: St George and the Dragon
St Albans Mummers will be back again this Boxing Day to present the tale of St George and the Dragon around St Albans City Centre.
Joining St George and the Dragon, to help the traditional story along, will be Father Christmas, The Lord of Misrul, A Dodgy Doctor, A Turkish Knight and a Giant with a very big stick.
This year St Albans Mummers will be celebrating the group's 58th year.
The play itself is part of a much older tradition: a descendant of the folk-plays once widespread in Britain which were performed by local groups to celebrate an important date or local occasion.
This year's performances will take place at the following times and places.
11.30 Museum / Old Town Hall
12.20 White Hart Hotel
13.10 West Door of Abbey
14:00 Ye Olde Fighting Cocks
14.50 The Clock Tower
As with every year St Albans Mummers will be raising money for the Mayor of the City and District of St Albans charities.
