Wassail at Wimpole

Help us wake up nature at Wimpole with a Wassail Walk around the walled garden!

Wassail is an ancient custom to toast the good health of crops, livestock, beehives and orchards. Here at Wimpole we’re raising a Wassail to celebrate the produce of our Walled Garden and highlight how a good harvest is ensured through year-round hard work.

Discover the traditions of Wassailing and learn about sustainable food and farming as you embark on the trail through the orchards and walled garden. Have a go at some traditional rhymes, create a ‘hullabaloo’ with our noisemakers, and help welcome the birds and pollinators ahead of spring.

Find out how our famous Wimpole Apple Juice is made, from tree to bottle, before enjoying a glass at the Old Rectory Restaurant (£6 for 500ml bottle).
