Scroggling the Holly is a traditional custom of gathering holly. At the start of the Festive season Bands and Morris Men lead a traditional procession of Victorian children, who follow the Holly Queen up the cobbles to her crowning ceremony on the church steps. The newly crowned Holly Queen unlocks the church gates to invite the spirit of Christmas into Haworth . Father Christmas then arrives bringing with him Glad Tidings and Christmas Cheer to all. Festivities start at 11am . Procession starts at 2pm .
