The Mediaeval Babes hosting torch-lit procession at St Nicholas Chapel in King’s Lynn
Delight in a torch-lit procession and glorious merriment as a Christmas concert weaves story-telling magic with music, dance, carols, folksong, and theatre.
Baring aloft their flaming torches, the Mediaeval Baebes will be observing the medieval tradition of The Procession.
On Sunday, December 10, starting from the Statue Of Queen Victoria on Lynn’s Tuesday Market Place at 6.55pm, they will walk down Market Lane and head to St Nicholas Chapel, before commencing a remarkable evening of festive music and entertainment.
The torch-lit procession will transport you to a magical realm of glittering ceremony and delight.
Joined by their musicians playing drums, bagpipes, whistles, primitive stringed instruments, and recorders, you will be welcomed to join in the glorious parade, alongside local re-enactors and musicians – or choose to simply look on in awe as the spectacle unfolds before your very eyes.
Exalting the true spirit of Christmas once again, inside the venue music from this classical chart-topping choir will showcase well-known Christmas carols and traditional folk songs, alongside tracks from their latest seasonal album ‘MydWynter.’
With captivating storytelling uncovering the origins and folklore hidden in the lyrics, the spirited music will also include innovative settings of ancient and romantic poetry.
