Annual Holly and Mistletoe Auction, Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, England, UK
Tenbury Wells – England’s Mistletoe Town – holds its famous Mistletoe Auctions on Tuesdays in late November and early December. Mistletoe trading is a relatively modern concept – probably only dating from the mid-19th century when kissing under mistletoe had become popular across the UK. Since much of the country had little or no mistletoe an organised harvest and trade began to be from the main growing areas of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire began to be cut and sent around the country. This is still the case today, with a significant wholesale mistletoe market centred on Tenbury Wells on the Worcestershire-Herefordshire mistletoe auctions at Tenbury have a long history – at least 100 years.
