The Barnes Common Winter Wassail Returns

Join local charity Barnes Common on Saturday 7 February to make merry, and celebrate the success of the community orchard with the Barnes Common Wassail!

An ancient rural English celebration giving fruit growers and pickers the opportunity to drink to the good health of their fruit trees and to an abundant crop in the coming year, as well as bring light, noise and cheer to long, dark winter months.

We will enjoy storytelling, crafts and singing, with a Wassail Master to oversee proceedings. We are delighted to welcome back the Age UK Richmond Patch Ukulele group.

A community event not to be missed, so why not join us as we make noise, make merry and share Mike’s warm spiced apple cider and some tasty snacks. The theme for this year's event will be wellbeing and connecting with nature.

All are most welcome. Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear. Entry with pre booked tickets only - family discounts available. Tickets include a cup of cider/hot mulled apple juice, and a hot mug of soup.
