What is it?
Take part in a traditional wassail at Buckland Abbey.
Join in, make some noise, and wake the apple trees from their winter slumber! Enjoy pork and apple hotdogs, cider (both for sale on the evening) and possibly some morris dancing too in this traditional ceremony, held in the orchard around a bonfire. Wrap up warm, put your boots on and bring something noisy like a saucepan and wooden spoon or a whistle. You’ll need a torch too.
