About this listen

Discover the whimsical world of Calenig, a cherished Welsh New Year tradition that promises to enchant and amuse. Imagine children parading through the streets with ornately decorated apples and oranges, transformed into charming tripods with flour, nuts, oats, and fragrant herbs. Weaving through communities with rhymes and songs, these young ambassadors of the new year collected coins, bread, and cheese, all while delighting in the varied responses of their neighbors. From the warmth of generous hosts to the antics with miserly ones, Calenig brings to life a vivid tapestry of community spirit and festive creativity.
