Event Description

Wassailing in the Community Orchard - 3rd Feb from 2pm

If you have never 'Wassailed' then you will have a chance to do it on Sunday the 3rd February from 2.00pm, when we will be Wassailing in the Orchard. It is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word 'waes haeil' meaning 'to be healthy' and is a celebration to encourage a good crop by waking the sleeping trees and drive away evil spirits.  It is an excuse to eat, drink, sing and dance.
