About

The ancient custom of Well Dressing is only found in Derbyshire and is the art of decorating springs and wells with pictures made from natural materials. 

Coal Aston Folk and Friends Well Dressing Group have been creating these wells for many years, composition of the group may change annually but new members always welcome.
Our ethos is community involvement rather than perfection.

The blessing service will take place on Coal Aston Gala Day when stalls games and refreshments are available in or behind the Village Hall from 1pm to 4pm.

The Well will be positioned on the site of the Old Village Pond (now filled in). Refreshments available on gala day only.
