Christmas Mummers Plays - Wantage Mummers

'In comes I, Old Father Christmas...'

We love the pageantry of the Christmas period. For our festive Christmas special we are joined by Sem from the Wantage Mummers group.

We learn all about the traditions of English mummers plays which take place over the Christmas period.

• History of Mummers plays


• The Old Father Christmas character


• Links with other folk art forms
