Wassail 2026
Our Wassail is a community event aimed at bringing those from surrounding villages together for a night in January centred around the apple festival celebrations often found in the more southern cider counties of the UK.
​Our event is taking place on Saturday 17th Jan 2026, starting from 6pm and running through until people leave, normally 9pmish.
​​
​There remains no charge for adults or kids coming as this is aimed at being our annual community event. We do need to know attendee numbers so please do select and obtain the correct ticket numbers on the booking page.
​
There will be a bar service available with lager and Cider on the night.
