Burning Out the Old Year VIDEO

 

As the tumultuous year of 2022 draws to a close, we wish all our brethren, sisters and friends a Happy and Peaceful New Year 2023.

The video is dramatic footage of the New Year's Eve celebrations in Allendale Town, Northumberland, England. Every December 31st sees the traditional Tar Barrel Ceremony, "Burning Out the Old Year." 45 men, sporting colourful fancy dress and soot-covered faces, carry whisky barrels filled with burning hot tar in a dazzling procession through the town. What a sight!

Join us next year!
