066: The Blessing Of The Waters - Essex By The Sea
Each year in Brightlingsea, a unique ceromony takes place which dates back centuries.
The Blessing of the Waters is a historic event that happens in the early summer before town folk and invited guests reclaim Brightlingsea Creek by performing the "din".
The event was held for the first time during the reign of King Charles III on Sunday 4 June 2023 when the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports' Brightlingsea Driot-gatherer, Roger Tabor explained to Owen why this unusal event takes place.
