The London Winter Solstice Virtual Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We explore London’s History through its celebrations, festivals, calendars and almanacs of the Winter Solstice<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Winter Solstice festivals have been a time of review, renewal and anticipation of the future from time immemorial. The Ancient Britons saw the Solstice as a symbol of a promise of renewal as the world entered bleak mid winter. The Roman season was presided over by Janus, a two headed God who looked both backwards and forwards, and Dickens based his second great Christmas Book on the renewal that the New Year encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look at London’s past to see where and how the Solstice might be celebrated. We also explore the different Calendars – the Pagan year, the Christian year, the Roman year, the Jewish year, the Financial year, the Academic year and we reveal how these began. We look at folk traditions, Medieval Christmas Festivals, Boy Bishops, Distaff Sunday and Plough Monday, and other London winter traditions and folklore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end we use ancient methods to divine what is in store for us in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look at how Jane Austen spent Christmas and at Georgian Christmas traditions and amusements.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a Jane Austen devotee in possession of the good fortune of a couple of free hours must be in want of this virtual walk.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a special walk, which looks at the traditions of Christmas during the Regency period and how Jane Austen might have celebrated it. It will give some background to Jane Austen’s life and her knowledge of London. We used her novels and her letters to find out what she might have done at Christmas, but also at how Christmas was kept in this period, and the range of ‘Curiosities, Amusements, Exhibitions, Public Establishments, and Remarkable Objects in and near London available to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a London Walks Guided Walk by Kevin Flude, Museum Curator and Lecturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review: ‘Thanks, again, Kevin. These talks are magnificent!’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
