Revels

What is Revels?

Revels is a comedy sketch and song show with a history dating back hundreds of years. It is performed every year in Middle Temple Hall before Christmas. The material is written and performed by a cast of Middle Temple members.

Commitments in 2025

  • We rehearse in the evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays from October to December, in the Inn or nearby. We aim for the rehearsals to be relaxing and fun - a good way to stretch our creative muscles and burn off some steam after a day of hard work.
  • The show takes place on two evenings in December (11 and 12 December 2025) and there will be mandatory dress/tech rehearsals on dates beforehand (all day Sunday 7 December and evenings of 8 and 9 December 2025).
