When: 18th January 2013, 7pm – 8.30pm

Where: Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire

£: Adult Wassail 8 and Child Wassail 4.  Booking is essential, please call 0844 249895.

What is it?

Bring a pot or a pan and a wooden spoon to help scare the evil spirits out of apple trees and hope for a fruitful year, as people have done for hundreds of years.  Live music, warming soup and punch plus a chance to experience the abbey grounds after dark should make Lacock Abbey’s first ever wassail a night to remember!
