Loddington Farm Wassail

Annual Wassail

​​Start January off with a bang! 
 

Make the most of a dark and cold January evening by joining us at the farm for our annual Wassail.

 

Wassailing is an Anglo-Saxon, Twelfth Night tradition with pagan roots that has been practised in Britain for centuries. We wassail to bless our orchards to ensure a good harvest for the year to come.​

 

      Date - Saturday, 4th January

​

5.00pm - Park at the farm

​

5.15pm - Follow the drumbeat on a circular walk through the orchards

​

5.45pm - Gather at "Old Man Apple Tree" for a traditional Wassail ceremony

​

6:30pm - Everybody in to the tractor shed for singing, Morris dancing, venison burgers and mulled cider.

​​

This is always such a fun event for the whole family, not to mention it's free to attend and no need to book!

Please remember that this is a working farm so bring suitable footwear, warm clothing and a torch!

Wassail

Old Apple Tree, we Wassail thee,
And hope that thou wilt bear,
Hatfuls, capfuls & three-bushel bagfuls,
and a little heap under the stairs.
Three cheers for the apple tree!
