SUMMARY:Wassail in the Orchard
DESCRIPTION:Wassail in the Orchard: An ancient tradition in the city.\n\n\nA wassail in the gloaming for all\nWe bring the ancient Orchard Wassailing tradition to the city.\nWassail is an ancient rural custom intended to wake up the sleeping spirits of fruit trees and encourage them to get growing in the hope of a good harvest of apples and fruit in the summer \nJoin us for raucous music\, stories\, songs and a torchlit parade to the Orchard\, where we will bless the trees with toast and cider.\nLeading the jollities will be Beorma\, a mixed side of lively Border Morris dancers. Morris as you have never experienced it before ‘dumping tradition on the unwary since 2012.’ \nOur friendly Wild Green Man of the Woods returns to provide more music and stories and will lead you in the traditional songs associated with the ceremony… Feel free to join in the singing and the dancing as you will (bring your own pots\, pans \, whistles -things to make a noise – and join in). \nHot mulled cider will be available for sale. \nPlease note the Gardens will be dark and we will be walking over muddy ground. \nPlease dress accordingly. Children are very welcome with their (ticket holding) adults. \nSimple crafts to create noise making things maybe on offer – weather dependent. \nStories\, Music\, Dancing from 3.30 pm\nProcession starts at 5.30 pm\nPlease note: Last entry 5.15pm. \n  \nAnd why not pre-buy our new Wassail pin badge for 2026? Only £2.50 and made by a local crafstman. A limited number will also be available in the shop on the night. \n\n\n\n\n\nWith thanks to Richard Battye Studio for the photos
