As the dark of winter settles in, we gather in the orchard to awaken an ancient spell known as wassailing— a long forgotten tradition from the UK whispered through the roots of apple trees for centuries. Its purpose is to banish wandering evil spirits, wake the sleeping trees, and invite a bountiful harvest in the year ahead.
By firelight we’ll warm our hands and hearts with cider pressed from a local orchard. An afternoon for laughter, voices lifted in song, and joyful noise — because trees, like people, need love and song!
Our magical guide Sammie Longhorn will share fascinating apple lore and her extra special homemade elixir, Kate will guide us through the origin of the wassail tradition and we’ll enjoy a seasonal tale told beside the fire. Hot mulled apple and cider will flow, alongside delicious apple treats crafted for this special time.
Then comes the spellwork…
Armed with pots and pans, we’ll clang, bang, and shout to send any lurking spirits scurrying back into the shadows — a proper WASSAIL! To seal the magic, we’ll offer cider-soaked toast to the trees, blessing them with thanks, song, and promise.
Come wrapped up , bring a pot/ pan and a spoon to bang, and step into an evening where fire, apple, and magic meet beneath the winter skies ( whatever the weather we’ll gather ) !
Children come free ( please let us know how many are coming for mulled apple juice!) Parking at the football grounds on long lane. No refunds available this time.
