Wassail – celebrate our fruit trees 23/1 2-4.30
Did you know that the Wild Cat Wilderness is classified as a veteran orchard because of our many old trees, plus over the past few years we have planted a new orchard?
Our first community event of 2022 will be a wassail on Sunday 23rd Jan 2.00-4.30pm 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, a story around the campfire, singing and a procession visiting our old and new apple trees. Followed by mulled cider and apple juice. 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.
2.00-4.30pm last entry 2.30pm
2pm instrument making
2.30pm storytelling and learn the apple song
3pm apple tree parade followed by mulled cider and apple juice around the campfire
All welcome but booking essential. Donation for drinks so please bring cash
If you are planning to come along let us know in advance if possible so we can plan refreshments, etc.
This event is fully booked.
Hello! I’m trying to book 2 places on this event for myself and my 11 year old kid, not sure I’ve done it correctly 😅
I will change your booking – in future change quantity in drop down menu
I’ll come in historical costume – to add to the fun and pagan feel of the event – but will it be OK if I also have some information on small pieces of paper about the Tudor recreations at Kentwell Hall in Suffolk to hand out to anyone who might be interested or leave out by the refreshments?
Yes that all sounds great – see you then. Maria
