2 Talks: Christmas and Winter Traditions & Books of 2025

Christmas and Winter Traditions is an illustrated talk with live music presented by Gill and Barry Goodman. It explores some of the many traditional customs associated with Christmas and the months of winter generally, in story, song and pictures.  Some may be familiar, while others are less well-known, but we hope you will enjoy finding out about them and joining in with some songs. 

Gill and Barry have been involved in the folk scene since 1971 and have experienced or been involved with many of the customs featured in the presentation.

Our first speaker is Steph, the manager of David's Bookshop. She will tell us what was popular this year and suggest books for Christmas.
