Christmas is banned - The 'Discover History' duo will bring the story of the Christmas Ban to life at the Black and White House Museum in Hereford
Hide your Plum Pudding!
Hereford is gripped by a cold winter and to make matters worse, the Puritans have banned the Christmas Festivities this year.
This is on top of the fact that the English Civil Wars are raging across the land! People are expected to go to work on Christmas Day, Pagan greenery has been outlawed and the great feast is no more!
The Puritans feel Christmas is just a drunken, made up festival of overindulgence, with its roots hidden in the Pagan past! Be on your guard as the City guard has spotted a house decorated for Christmas.
What is the punishment for celebrating Christmas? Will you support this ban? Did Oliver Cromwell ban it? What can the future hold for this once happy time of the year?
The 'Discover History' duo will bring the story of the Christmas Ban to life at the The Black and White House Museum, Hereford.
