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.
