Wassail at the Orchard

What a great afternoon was had at the Wassail in Donkey Lane Community Orchard on Sunday 22nd January. We hope everyone who came enjoyed themselves. With 110 people making such a noise we’re sure to have driven out any bad luck for the year. We’re sorry to have run out of mulled cider and mulled apple juice; it was obviously very cold or we had a thirsty bunch of visitors! We’ll make sure we have more essential supplies next year.

Our thanks to Claire Conway-Crapp from the Mid Shires Orchard Group who did a marvellous job of leading the Wassail and to Rev’d Jacky Barr for the final blessing. And to Towersey Village Voices, it was lovely hearing their “voices” in the Orchard.

The next event at the Orchard will be the Blossom Day on the 22nd April.

A reminder that we hold regular working parties on the 1st Tuesday of the month 10:00 am - 1:00 pm and on the 3rd Saturday of the month 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. All are welcome to join in, no experience required, just come along to the Orchard at the designated date and time. Tools and equipment supplied.
