About the Event

Eliza Carthy and Jon Boden combine their considerable talents in this special “Wassail” performance — a seasonal folk celebration rooted in old English tradition (“waes hael” – “be well”).
The show features seasonal material in a festive setting — including illuminated Christmas trees on stage — and delves into some of the oldest songs in the English folk canon, inviting audiences to toast good health and light up the dark days of the year.
