Speakers for 2026
23/10/2026 : English Christmas Traditions , Margaret Holbrook. Take a fascinating look at the traditions and folklore of the Christmas season - up to Twelfth Night. Why do we bring live greenery into our homes and hang wreaths on the door? What is the significance of holly, ivy and mistletoe? We often think of the traditions of Christmas and associate them with the Victorians, but many of our traditions go back a lot further than that.
