Wassailing the apple trees is an ancient English tradition of visiting orchards to sing, make noise, and perform rituals to bless the trees and ensure a bountiful apple harvest in the coming year. The word "wassail" comes from the Old English phrase "Wæs þu hæl," meaning "be in good health". 

Core elements of the Willingham ceremony include the crowning of  a "Wassail King and Queen", revellers bang pots and pans, shout, to ward off evil spirits and wake the trees from their winter slumber and of course drinking Wassail, a warm, spiced alcoholic drink (mulled cider or ale with apples, sugar, and spices, sometimes called "lamb's wool") is shared among the participants from a large communal bowl.

Willingham would have been a pagan settlement when it was founded and would have celebrated other festivals throughout the year.
