Well Dressing


Well dressing is a traditional art form in Derbyshire, using only natural materials.

For the millenium celebrations the Methodist Church celebrated with a well dressing celebrating the Water of Life 

Well Dressing - Water of Life

To celebrate the Queens Golden Jubilee in 2002the village erected a traditional well structure. As the church had some experience in well dressing the parish council invited Churches Together in Swanwick to dress the well. CTS continues to provide the annual well dressing for the well.

For 2018 the theme for our well dressing celebrated the women's suffrage movement.
