Storytime Sessions: Mummers Plays
St Albans Cathedral
Thu 22nd August 2024
10.20am - 12pm
Suitable for ages 5 - 11, though all are welcome! Parental supervision required.
Get creative this summer holiday, colouring in masks and pictures of saints, whilst listening to our artist in residence perform mummers' plays! Hear stories of saints fighting, knights on quests, doctors performing amazing acts, and even crocodiles!
Mummers' plays are a Folk Tradition, often used to raise funds, in which performers (or mummers) hid themselves behind simple masks or hats, so they could say rude things about their elders and betters! We will make our own mummers play, with dragons, saints, queens and other characters. And there will be a celebration at the end, as is traditional.
