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 like the Tudors did.
The event will be led by traditional experts with entertainment from Blackpowder Morris, Gallyard Tudor Dancers, Pentacle Drummers and more, who will help transport you back 500 years to when Wassailing was common across Sussex.
Hot and cold refreshments are available at both the Family Wassail (3pm to 5pm) and the Adult-only Wassail (6pm to 9pm) and alcohol will be served at the adult event.
Capacity will be limited and pre-booking is essential with no tickets available on the evening.
