A truly unique local heritage event, that embodies the spirit of WexTrad - taking our special local culture and offering it to all. Join us in the Talbot Hotel to experience the clash of the sword sticks tapping to rousing tunes and to hear the Mummer's sets perform their favourite rendition - be it a song, a recitation or a few solo dance steps.
