Discover the unique custom of Well Dressing in the Peak District - The dressings themselves are beautifully crafted pictures made from flower petals and other natural materials pressed into clay on frames. Flowers are picked locally. 

Then comes the delicate and laborious task of infilling with flower petals and other natural materials. No artificial or synthetic materials are ever used at Tissington. Each petal has to be put in separately and they overlap like tiles on a roof so that the rain will flow off the picture. This process takes many hours and occupies all of the three days preceding Ascension Day.

Tissington is known as the mother place of well dressing - Come and experience the well dressing and  then onto Ashbourne with its winding cobbled streets, welcoming Market Place and handsome Tudor and Georgian heritage.
