Dronfield Woodhouse Well Dressing at Dronfield Woodhouse
This ancient custom is all but unique to Derbyshire. In Dronfield Woodhouse, 2 wells are dressed, one by Girl Guiding. This will be the 22nd year that Dronfield Woodhouse has dressed wells. This is a community event which raises funds for charity and helps preserve the site of the town well.
