This multi-generational celebration of the turning of the year is a joyful passing of traditions through the generations. The show opens with families gathered in a cozy English pub, reveling in the deep winter while looking forward to the coming of the light in the new year. As the heart of winter is acknowledged, the magical Abbotts Bromley Horn Dance will inspire the transfer of traditions as the skill and eagerness of the younger community members shine. Singing, dancing, and mumming by the cast – and even some lucky audience members - will fill the theater with smiles. Please sing along with us and don’t forget to touch the Yule log with your sprig of holly for a whole year’s worth of good luck!

This family-friendly show welcomes all ages, and each show is a magical journey centered on community, where the performance weaves connections between the cast and audience as rituals are shared across generations. "Without our audience, there is no point," says Welcome Yule Artistic Director, Jinny Mason. "We’re all in this together, celebrating the turning of the year. Every laugh, every note, every shared moment makes this tradition stronger."
