Hear how Christmas was observed in Shakespeare’s time and the folk traditions that people practiced to welcome in winter.

From wassailing to the winter solstice, ‘kissing boughs’ to proper mince pyes, this family-friendly guided tour will tell the stories of Tudor Christmases and the traditions that are embedded in Shakespeare’s plays.
The tours are of the Globe theatre on the Southbank, but with a festive focus for this time of year.
The tours last an hour and cost £20 for adults, and £15 for children. They will run daily from Monday 18th to Saturday 30th December (except 24/25/26).
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
