Pleasley Well Dressing under Construction at Pleasley
Find out more about this ancient custom by watching the well dressers working to dress the well. See how intricate and detailed pictures are made using only natural materials – petals, leaves, seeds, berries, sticks and stones. The designs are outlined in black wool and always related to the Flower Festival in the Church.
