Burton Latimer Wassail

A wassail event is an ancient English tradition, usually in mid-winter, involving music, and revelry to bless apple orchards for a bountiful harvest, ensuring good health for trees, animals, and people by warding off evil spirits with noise and offering cider and toast to the trees. It's a festive, community gathering.

We will be toasting the trees in the pocket park including the small fruit trees as well as the more established ones. There will be some live music and poetry and obviously we will have the wassail bowl full of cider ready to dip the toast in...

If you would like to join us please come dressed for the weather with shoes suitable for walking over rough ground. Bring something noisy to scare away the "evil spirits"... a drum would be good but a pot and a wooden spoon work just as well.

We will be meeting at the entrance by Weetabix and we look forward to celebrating with you

Wassail and good health to you all.
