About the event
Come join the Mediaeval Baebes and be immersed in glorious merriment. Tickets are now available from www.mediaevalbaebes.com at a cost of £32.50 each and £15.00 for a child. Doors open at 2pm. There will be 2 x 45 minute sets, with a 20 minute intermission at which will be available refreshments and mince pies. At 1.55pm the Medieval Baebes will be proccessing by torchlight from the Yarn Market to the Church.
Song and dance, pomp and pageantry will joyfully announce the arrival of the Mediaeval Baebes, with a torchlit procession to herald the start of their tantalising Twelfth Moon concert. Embrace the magic, breathe in the atmosphere and join the parade as it makes it way to St George’s Church on Sunday 7 th December, for an evening of musical stories, poetry and theatre.
Renowned for their soaring harmonies, stunning costumes, and performing with a plethora of exotic historical instruments; the Mediaeval Baebes will be exalting the twelfth month in all its finery, along with the beauty and passion of all things mydwynter. The Christmas concerts will see several tracks from their new upcoming album The Spinning Wheel being performed live for the first time. And, embracing the full Mediaeval Baebes Christmas vibe, a double a-side single, titled December and inspired by the torchlit processions, will be released in late November 2025. Written and composed by Katharine Blake, it perfectly sets the scene for the enchanted evening to come. December tells of persons ‘gathering together, to awake the flame of old, for a story yet untold,’ with the uplifting melody and lyrics proclaiming joy and wonder, voices singing, cups overflowing and laughter…
The Mediaeval Baebes are one of the most successful female-led, early music and folk ensembles in Europe. Over the years, the Mediaeval Baebes have released eleven studio albums and won an Ivor Novella Award for their performance on the BBC serialization ‘The Virgin Queen.’ They have also received two Emmy nominations and a Royal Television Society award as the featured artist alongside composer Martin Phipps, for the TV theme tune of
ITV’s hit show ‘Victoria.’ In 2023 The Mediaeval Baebes collaboration with Orbital’s ‘Ringa Ringa’ enjoyed number 6 status in the album charts. And, their unique siren call was invited to collaborate with TikTok lockdown sensation The Wellermen, as part of their ‘Explorations’ remix album.
The Spinning Wheel album with its twelve uniquely beautiful tracks, is dedicated to the twelve months of the year. Embracing nature’s wonder, along with the sights, sounds, and moods that abide with each month, it will be released in February 2026 in celebration of the Mediaeval Baebes 30th Anniversary year.
