The mummers play we do is collected from the nearby village of Sunningwell. Near Christmas we do a ‘Town Tour’ and an ‘Out of Town Tour’ taking in quite a few pubs in one evening. We always collect for a local charity.
The 2025 Mummers performed at:
- Monday 15th December: Out of Town Tour: 7.30 The Plum Pudding (Milton), 8.15 The Pack Horse (Milton Heights), 10.00 The Red Lion (Drayton). Planned peformances at 9.00 The Cherry Tree (Steventon) and 9.30 The Fox (Steventon) didn’t take place as the pubs were shut.
- Wednesday 17th December: Town Tour: 7.20 The Anchor, 7.45 Kings Head and Bell, 8.10 Nags Head, 8.35 Broad Face, 8.55 Stocks Bar, 9.20 Punch Bowl, 9.45 Tipsy Mercer, 10.00 The Brewery Tap
- The Mummers raised a grand total of £564.78 for The Fellowship of St. Ethelwold (towards the restoration fund for St Ethelwold’s House).
There are some composite videos of the Out of Town Tour on our Facebook page, with a scene in each pub. The video of the 2019 tour is here, and the 2018 tour is here . Can you spot the differences? If you want to see how different it was in 2016 click here . The only 2020 Mummers performance was a virtual one done online on Mayor’s Day due to Covid restrictions.
