Come along to see our Medieval Nativity performed in three historic Lincoln settings, including the incredible medieval Lincoln Cathedral and accompanied by medieval musical instruments.

Starting with the visit of the Angel Gabriel to Mary, and tracing events through Joseph's doubts to the birth of Jesus and ending with the visits of the Shepherds and the Three Kings, you'll find the play heart-warming, funny and fascinating.

This medieval take on the Nativity, translated from the 1450 historic plays, includes comedic midwives, foolish shepherds and an argumentative Joseph.

Suitable for all ages and lasting approximately 50 minutes, no tickets are needed but our charity will really appreciate and benefit from your donations!

Get into the Christmas spirit this December with the Lincoln Mystery Plays Trust 2025 Medieval Nativity. We look forward to seeing you there!
