Gee Cross Well Dressing at Gee CrossThis ancient custom is usually only found in or around Derbyshire. Although Gee Cross is in Cheshire, the village has been dressing wells since 2000. The first event was held to bring the community together and now the whole village looks forward to the dressing of 6 wells.
