Wassail 2026 at Richard Jefferies Museum

It's that time of year again to make sure the apple trees wake up so they can start getting on with the job of growing good fruit for the following harvest!

Bring your pots, pans & spoons, drums, other noise making instruments and your voices for this free, family-friendly event as we wake up the apple trees with as much noise as we can make.

This year we'll have the fabulous Devizes Jubilee Morris returning to join in with the fun.

Dress warmly and wear sensible footware for being in the gardens.
