Twelfth Night was a traditional midwinter celebration presented by the Lions part, taking place across Bankside and Borough Yards. The event combined ancient seasonal customs with contemporary festivities, including music, dance and a traditional Mummers Play. The celebration began near Shakespeare’s Globe on Bankside, where performances and rituals marked the start of the procession. Key moments included the crowning of the King Bean and Queen Pea, followed by a procession along the Thames led by the Holly Man. The event continued at Borough Yards, where visitors gathered for further performances, storytelling, music and seasonal traditions. The programme brought together elements of folk theatre and public celebration, continuing a long-standing cultural tradition on Bankside.
