“At Christmas be mery”: A Special Evening at Historic Jamestowne 
Location: Program begins at the Historic Jamestowne Visitor Center
You are invited to join Sir Francis Wyatt, Virginia’s newly arrived Governor in December of 1621, to an early-Virginia Christmas celebration complete with a seasonal bonfire and caroling. A unique opportunity to see Jamestown Island aglow with firelight, “At Christmas be mery”: A Special Evening at Historic Jamestowne will be presented on Saturday, December 11, at 6:00pm & 7:30pm. This program will be held rain or shine, so we recommend dressing comfortably for the weather conditions.
Join us for this special program offering insights into early-English Christmas traditions. After a brief introduction to what the Jamestown settlers expected during their Christmastide, the Captain of the Guard will escort the “new arrivals” along a cresset-lit path to the 1618 Church. Governor Wyatt will then offer a welcome before inviting everyone to sing carols. Afterwards herald in the season by a bonfire with remembrances of “Yule times” past!
Tickets, which are $24.95 each, are limited and must be bought online in advance by clicking the button below.
