Wassail! Good health to the trees (and to you!) 🍎
Ever wondered why people are dancing in orchards with cider and toast in the middle of January? You’re witnessing a Wassail—one of England`s oldest and most eccentric winter traditions!
Derived from the Old Norse ves heill (meaning "be well" or "be in good health"), a Wassail is a ceremony held to wake the cider apple trees from their winter slumber and scare away evil spirits to ensure a bumper harvest for the coming year.
What to expect at a traditional Wassail:
🍞The Toast: A "Wassail Queen" places pieces of cider-soaked toast in the branches of the oldest tree as a gift to the spirits.
🥁The Noise: Expect lots of shouting, singing, and the banging of pots and pans (or even firing muskets!) to drive away any bad luck.
🍺The Drink: Sharing a bowl of warm, spiced cider or ale to toast to the health of the orchard.
If you want to experience this ancient custom for yourself, head to the iconic, timber-framed Fleece Inn at Bretforton—the perfect atmospheric backdrop for a winter`s night!
• When: Saturday, 10th January
• Where: The Fleece Inn, Bretforton
Join the Pebworth Morris Men for an evening of traditional dance, song, and orchard antics. It’s loud, it’s lively, and it’s a true Worcestershire experience.
