- **Event Name**: St Ives Orchard Wassail
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us in this old tradition to wish the trees Wassail
(Good Health). With fire, singing, cider and much toasting of the trees. To awaken the trees from their winter slumber, ready to embrace new life in the spring and to thank the trees for the apples we eat and the juice we make from their fruits. We will be serving the cider and apple juice made from last years apples. 
All are invited to dress in winter greenery, bring along some loud instruments or pots and pans and your own mug. 

Timing of events: 

3pm -  People gather, make head gear from willow and ivy and there will be a fun activity for the kids to make their own shakers.  The fire will be lit, we'll sing one of our Wassail songs and charge our mugs ready for toasting the trees. 

4pm - The Green Man calls out to everyone to gather around the Wassail tree, the largest Apple tree (our Winter peach apple which originates from the 1800's just like this tradition) to start the ceremony. Another Wassail song is then sung and a dance is performed around the tree by a group of orchard volunteers with much shouting of ‘Huzzah’!  
The Green man blesses &amp; toasts the trees, pouring a little cider on the roots and hanging toast dipped in the cider on the branches and invites everyone to do the same. 
The dancers and Raffidy Dumitz band then lead the whole crowd in a merry dance around the orchard, winding in and around the trees, banging pots, pans and drums to awake the cider apple trees and encourage good harvests for the coming year.  The bonfire is then lit &amp; more music is played. 

5pm - Enjoy the warmth around the fire or head down to the CORE building for some tea, cake and hot veggie stew.
