Wassail – celebrate our fruit trees 20/1/24 2-4pm. Suitable for all ages.
Did you know that the Wild Cat Wilderness is classified as a veteran orchard because of our many old trees, plus we have planted a new orchard?
Our first community event of 2024 will be a wassail on Saturday 20th Jan 2.00-4.00pm which is an ancient custom of visiting orchards and reciting incantations and singing to the trees to promote a good harvest for the coming year.
There will be instrument making, music and singing and a procession to visit our old and new apple trees. Followed by storytelling and mulled cider and apple juice around the campfire. Please bring any instruments.
All welcome but places are limited so please book a space for every adult and child. Bring a torch as it will get dark.
