Our local #EastKent #MummersPlay was performed by the #BoydenGate #Mummers again this Boxing Day, followed by the #Wantsum #Morris men. A reasonable audience, with many ramblers and dogs as usual.

So this is #Solstice/#Xmas, and what have we done? The #Hoodening's over, we all had great fun… hopefully our audiences too, 13 performances around #Thanet in #EastKent, raising around £2000 for #SERVkent (Blood Runners). A new script as always, in rhyming couplets, but no new song this year. Topical references to NHS dentists, freebie clothing, Oasis, cost of living, explosive ships & rockets, Rwandagate, Wonkagate, Aurora Borealis, rural housing, dogging, army horses, and more… #HoodenHorse

@david_castleton "was"? Many #mumming folk traditions continue, as does the vaguely-related #mummering in Newfoundland, not to forget our own #Hoodening of course in #EastKent (which didn't die out in 1910 as your article suggests - see for example the books by Frampton or Frost for more details). Tomorrow is actually our first day of the season...

@paulisci As a long time Canterbury resident, I'm proud of our native spirit! Also worth noting how close Canterbury is to Dover, and thus, how easy it could be to say, fall asleep on the train after a few drinks and end up there (or so I hear). The rest is just inevitable and I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often... #Canterbury #dover #eastkent

Everything you wanted to know about the #EastKent #folk tradition of #hoodening and #hoodenhorses but never dared ask is - probably - contained in hoodening.org.uk, the #OzaruBooks publications shown there, the current exhibition at Maidstone Museum … and now @thefolklorepodcast podcast at http://www.thefolklorepodcast.com/episode-130.html - enjoy! #FolkloreThursday #folklore 🐴

Just finished preparing these 20 teaspoon blanks for a kids carving group this evening.

A snapshot from a #Hoodening and #wassail day in Sandwich, #EastKent, with #Hoodeners from Deal and Canterbury, stags & modern Whitstable beasts (May Day, #hoodenhorse replicas, #MariLwyd). All of these are due to appear in an exhibition at #Maidstone Museum from February, and are featured in the linked #OzaruBooks publication out now.
