St Albans Mummers - Boxing Day 2020

Bad News For Mummers !

The St Albans Mummers have performed at various spots and pubs around the city on Boxing Day each year since 1967 but this year for the first time in our history we will not be able to as St Albans is going into tier 3.

We were going to perform with a reduced cast as we needed to follow the rule of six, and St George could have tried out his new two metre lance, as the players and the audience would have needed to be at a safe distance from each other to comply with social distancing.

But if you are wondering what to do on Boxing Day instead and enjoy supporting local, traditional events, all is not lost. Turn on to You Tube and watch the Mummers safely online. The link is http://youtube.com/watch?v=P0SUVe0isuk Available from 3pm on Boxing Day. Witness scenes of conflict, life, death and resurrection plus some awful jokes, but all in the best possible taste, from the comfort of your armchair !

There will be a special video performance on YouTube from 3pm. Further details about the video and the Mummers can be found on the website - www.stalbansmummers.org.uk/

We were able to contribute to two local charities this year from the money that our audiences kindly gave us at our performances last Boxing Day. If you would like to donate online please look for St Albans Mummers on Just Giving. All monies will go to the Mayors charity which is the St Albans and Hertsmere Women’s Refuge.

Hope to see you all again in 2021.
