About

Join the Wassailing in this old English tradition to bless the apple trees ensuring a good harvest next year. Enjoy bonfires, Morris Dancing, tradition village fete games and a range of food and drinks (including Mulled Cider) to buy. You come along with your pots, pans, whistles; anything to make a racket to drive bad spirits away from the trees as the heritage orchard is blessed.

This year, there's a Best Decorated Hat Competition! Come with your best decorated hat and you could be in with a chance to win a goodie bag

Best Decorated Hat Competition judging at 17:10

Blessing at 17:15
