Nearly 200 people gathered in Stoke St Gregory for the annual Boxing Day Folklore Celebration.

The much-loved tradition once again brought villagers together to celebrate the local heritage outside the community-owned and run pub-hub, The Royal Oak.

The village square was filled with traditional Mummers storytelling, inspired by local legends and customs.

Visitors of all ages enjoyed the performance and family-friendly ambiance, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere at the heart of the village.

The event, supported by the Heart Of The Village project, continues to grow in popularity and remains an important fixture in the local calendar.

Residents and visitors alike praised the celebration for its warm spirit and strong sense of community. 

Resident Tim Slattery said: “This year’s turnout shows just how valued this event is.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our folklore, bring generations together, and keep our traditions alive.”

The organisers would like to thank all the performers, volunteers, and everyone who attended for making the day such a success.

They look forward to welcoming the community back again throughout next year to experience similar events.
