SHEPPY'S WASSAIL 2024

Doors open from 5:30pm - ceremony starts at 6.45pm

Food | Fires | Cider

Wassail gets its name from an old English term "waes hael" meaning "be well" which was shouted like a toast with the reply "drinc hael" meaning "drink and be healthy" at festivities in the darkest days of January as far back as Saxon times. There are several types of Wassailing tradition (most involving hot spiced alcohol) but the important one for all cider-makers is blessing their apple trees.

Your £16.50 ticket price covers admission at the gate and food. Drinks (including tea and coffee) will be available to purchase before and after the ceremony. No drinks are included in the ticket.
