Following two wet days and clashing with an important football game on TV, revellers were not detered from toasting the approaching apple season.

18/06/2025

The harvest is over and the rains are finally here! And while the orchards slumber through the cooler months, we Wassail!

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate the winter season with our Orchard Wassail event on Sat July 19 2025 at 6:30 PM. The celebration will once again be held at Lenswood Memorial Park and, building on previous years, this community gathering promises to be a night of merriment and cheer for the whole family.

For those who haven't previously wassailed, it's the perfect opportunity to brave the crispest of winter eves and experience the enchanting tradition of wassailing, where we sing and toast to the health of our apple and pear trees, ensuring a bountiful harvest for the upcoming season. Enjoy soul warming mulled cider and juice from our friends at LOBO Cider, hearty food, music and poetry as we rug up, don our gumboots and gather around the bonfire to celebrate another year on this good earth.

Don't miss out on this festive occasion, please join us for a night of warmth, laughter and community spirit.

Free entry, but bookings essential via https://tinyurl.com/yezhpdwa We can't wait to see you there! 🍏🍐🍎
