It's a tradition that's involves blessing the apple trees in the hope of a good harvest 🍎
A wassail has been held almost every January in Stoke Gabriel for more than 25 years!

Nick Eason from the village explains how it works and why it’s still important today: https://bbc.in/4bPzpBh

**Important information ahead of our Stoke Gabriel Wassail event on Saturday**

**SAFETY INFO AHEAD OF SATURDAY’S EVENT**
We are very much looking forward to the Wassail ceremony taking place this weekend. As the Orchard can become slippery and muddy in wet weather, we would like to remind everyone of a few important health and safety points to help ensure the event is enjoyable and safe for all.
- Please ensure children bring additional torches and have their lanterns well lit to help maintain good visibility as light levels drop. We have put additional lighting in place from the Church and lanterns in the Orchard.
Neon glow necklaces will be available to purchase from the FOSS BBQ on the evening.
- We ask that everyone sticks to the designated paths within the Orchard. This is particularly important not only for safety, but also to help us preserve the flora and fauna of this special area.
- Suitable footwear (such as wellington boots or sturdy walking shoes) is strongly recommended.
- Please take extra care when walking, especially on uneven or slippery ground.
- For anyone who is unsure about their footing, the ceremony can also be viewed safely from Church Walk.
Thank you for your support in helping us keep everyone safe while enjoying this traditional event. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to sharing a wonderful evening together and raising lots of money for our lovely school.
