Tissington Town Well

Highlight • Historical Site

One of the most celebrated events in the village is the annual Well Dressing festival, a unique and tradition that dates back centuries.

What is Well Dressing? Well dressing is an ancient custom that involves decorating wells and springs with intricate and beautiful designs made from natural materials such as flowers, petals, leaves, and seeds.

Some suggest the tradition began after Tissington escaped the Black Death, with villagers attributing their survival to the purity of their water supply.

Pagan Origins: Another theory suggests the custom may have roots in pagan practices of offering thanks to the gods of wells and springs

The festival usually takes place during Ascension Week, a religious observance that occurs 40 days after Easter Sunday.
