This year is a Medieval Celebration with a beloved king, a mysterious woodland queen, a pair of fools, and an unexpected guest. Amidst it all, enjoy rousing traditional music, powerful medieval songs, ethereal chants, seasonal carols, rollicking tunes on early instruments, familiar rounds, folk and courtly dances, a madcap “12 Days of Christmas,” the eerily hypnotic Abbots Bromley horn dance, a topsy-turvy “Lord of Misrule,” and an evocative mummers’ play. Join us and find the true heart and spirit of the holiday season as we bid goodbye to the old year and celebrate the birth of the new. Tickets $12-60,
