We need new members. In the fifty odd years we’ve been going, many more mummers have alas moved on than are now with us. If you think you might give it a try we’d love to hear from you. Give us a ring, send an email or just sidle up when you encounter us somewhere. We hear from other teams i.e. dance and sword that keeping numbers up is becoming a problem.

Mostly we do plays at festivals and folk clubs; we also sing as a body of chorus to back the singing of one of us as an individual but that’s not essential. That’s how we do Folk Clubs, a play then later a song set. We are all men, that’s the tradition; we do mummers plays to maintain the tradition so we can only keep it that way.

We meet at the Britannia in Darlington, sometimes once a month, sometimes weekly, depends what’s on. The Britannia serves real ale but there’s no requirement to drink! As we are a revival team we don’t have any local feast day of which we’re a part but we're out as a team for example nine times in 2017 including our own Ceilidh in February. A festival (we’ve just done Ulverston) might mean we’re away all weekend.

We’ll be delighted to hear from you if you fancy a go.
