It includes the arrival of the Holly Man by boat, “bringing in the green” and wassailing the people and the Thames. There is a Mummers play, King Bean and Queen Pea handing out cakes, and the event ends with story telling, the “Kissing Wishing Tree” and dancing at the historic George Inn in Borough High Street. This is a free event that will happen whatever the weather and all are welcome. FFI: thelionspart.co.uk.
Is this event open to bringing a child along?
I know its not normally the done thing.

Hi Jo,
For some reason, your comments were waiting for me to moderate them. Which is bizarre, because the site doesn’t ask me to moderate anyone else’s! I’ll have to work out what’s going on.
Anyway, yes, you can take children along to the PF open ceremonies. I have seen people in their early teens there before. If you want to make absolutely sure that the ceremony will be suitable for your young man, do phone Mani, he’s very nice and will put you right.
Might see you there!

I’ve put the Bankside celebration in my diary, just in case…

There’s also a 12th Night celebration at the Geffrye Museum in Hackney or at tleast there was last year and children are certainly welcome to that. I went last year.
