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! ​​​
​
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!
