Weardale Together presents...

A Winter Wassail - Fri 30th Jan

Gather in your wildest winter finery of foliage crowns, creaturely masks, and furry tails to join us for an unforgettable night of revelry, ritual, and midwinter mischief. Don’t forget a lantern or torch, and an instrument (or anything you can bang or shake!) 🎶🎵🎶

A full evening of revelry!
