Wassail 2025

Come and join us for a traditional wassailing! We need your help as we ask for blessing for the coming year's crop and chase out evil spirits from the orchard. 

We'll be enjoying mulled cider, our spirit of cider and vinegar, local food producers and we'll have a number of family friendly activities planned before darkness falls and we light the torches...

Try your hand at:

• Cider tasting (and brandy tasting)
• Apple olympics to test your skills
• Noise makers to ward off evil
• Bread twists to ask for blessing (and make a wish)
• Treasure hunt to try your luck
• Clay pot making
• Singing and story telling

Cider and Mulled cider and food stands from local producers. Plus we'll have cider, spirit of cider and vinegar for sale to take home.

Dress warmly for the weather and bring a musical instrument to bang blow or strum. We need to make some noise!

Entry tickets cost £5 for adults, £1 for accompanied children This is not a dog-friendly event.

COMING SOON...

You will be able to access your tickets via the link in the order confirmation email sent to you, and from the order confirmation page.

You can save tickets to your device wallet, print off a copy or just show us the QR code on your device when you arrive. You can forward your ticket on to other guests too.

We also have your details on our list so we can register you on arrival without a QR code - don't worry if you can't print it off or have no signal when you arrive, just tell us your name.

We will issue a refund for event tickets on request up to 72 hours before an event. After that it is hard for us to resell a ticket and we may already have incurred expenses on your behalf.

Refunds will be for the full amount minus the ticketing fee we will have paid for each ticket (£1 per ticket) and a £5 admin fee. 

Ideally we'd prefer to reschedule your ticket to another date or event where an equivalent is available, there is no fee for this.

Obviously, not everyone lives near us. If you are tempted to visit us or join one of our events and you don't live locally, why not make a trip of it?
