Wassailing is an annual tradition to bless orchards to ensure a good harvest for the year to come. It has been practised in Britain for centuries. The celebrations involve music, song, dancing and a recognition of what apple trees give to us.
This Wassail event is led by Jo and Kevin from organicARTS.
We are offering “Choose your own price” tickets at £5, £7.50 or £10 per person with 3 and unders FREE.
