Join us at Michelham Priory House & Gardens for a magical event of dancing, drumming, fire and feasting to bless the trees and wish them good health for the year ahead!
Bring along a musical instrument, decorate yourself in foliage and feathers and join the torchlit procession to wake the apple trees from their slumber, scare away evil spirits and celebrate winter as the Tudors did.
The event will be led by traditional experts, who will help transport you back 500 years to when Wassailing was common across Sussex.
What's on offer:
Morris dancing from Mythago Morris and Blackpowder Morris.
Live music from Rattlebag Choir and Pentacle Drummers, and live dancing from Gallyard Tudor Dancing.
Everyone's favourite jester, Devilstick Peat will be joining us entertaining crowds of all ages.
Delicious food from Ye Olde Spud Shoppe and Harold's Hog Roast will be on offer, plus a bar operated by Chiddingly Parish Bonfire Society (evening only).
Hot and cold refreshments are available at both the Family Wassail (2.45pm to 5pm) and the Adult-only Wassail (6pm to 9pm) and alcohol will be served at the adult event only.
