Schedule: The Drewe Arms (Drewsteignton) 3:30 pm, The Chagford Inn (Chagford) 6 pm, The Globe Inn (Chagford) 8 pm. Fairly brief, very silly, free - offers of beer gratefully accepted.

Dartmoor, Devon, West Country friends: The Chagford Mummers will be performing all day on Sunday, 4 January, traveling from pub to pub in Drewsteignton and Chagford. It's traditional, folkloric, silly, and free...but the players won't say no to a pint of beer. #Mumming #Folklore #FolkDrama
