We always get up early on boxing day,
As there is a daft mummers play, that tours the pubs in my dad's area. Usually half the local population is pissed again by midday and shouting at the shit Morris dancers to hurry up so we can watch the same daft play we saw at the previous 4 pubs. It's better every time as the cast gets drunker too.

We took the kids to see a mummers play in a tiny village near my folks' house last Boxing Day
Then one of the villagers brought round a tray of booze, which was nice.

They're technically Morris,
But I let them off because it's hilarious.
Our local is King George vs. The Turkey Snite (Turkish knight, lol racism) what did you see?

They do a local one called The Stoneleigh Play
It's just the right side of Morris to be acceptable.

You're complaining about me providing a link to the information you requested and I'm the moaner?

There are also carol bell ringers,
Probably the shittest form of music ever. 9 middle aged women ringing bells that vaguely sound like silent night if you really try. Last year a local at pub number 4 fell through the bell table in the middle of "oh rest ye merry gentleman" the cheering could be heard for miles around.
