Mummer’s The Word

While I was in Bath, I had a look around. The Christmas Market isn’t open yet, though the chalets are all in place. However, something very strange was going on. In fact, it was something Unconventional.

No, not the Fortean Society. This weekend Bath has been home to an International Unconvention of Mummers. Consequently the city center was full of people in bizarre costumes, either marching around to medieval music, or performing their plays. There are lots of fascinating links on the Uncovention website, and hopefully in a few days there will be lots of photos of the event there too. My apologies for not getting any.
