This coming weekend, 6 and 7 December, Leicestershire County Council’s Donington le Heath Manor House, near Coalville, will be celebrating Christmas Past with traditional carols, music and mummers plays.
As well as a medieval style mummers play from Caldecott in Rutland, and carol performances and sing-a-longs, there will also be short talks on pre-Victorian Christmas customs and, on Sunday, the Puritan’s attempts to stamp out the joy of Christmas.
Children’s craft activities, allowing our younger visitors to take something away with them, will be run by the Manor house staff.
Special festive stalls and the museum shop will be selling Christmas gifts.
The house is decorated in the traditional medieval and Tudor style with holly, ivy and other winter greenery, which looks and smells fantastic.
This is the last of many events at the Manor House for this year and next year’s programme will be just as busy.
Christmas at the Manor is open from 11.00am until 4.00pm on both days.
Admission is free, but a small charge will be made for the craft activities.
For further information about this event and Donington generally, please contact Richard Knox on (0116) 305 8327 or rknox@leics.gov.uk
