Wassail Wassail! 🍏🥁🎗🎶On Saturday 7th February at 6pm we will be holding our annual Wassail. 📆 The event celebrates our four Tamworth ciders - Squealer (sweet), Sandyback (medium), Hog Sty (dry) and Mistletoe & Swine (mulled). 🍏🍎🍏🍎
Wassail, meaning ‘good health’, comes from the Old English Wæs Hæl. The wassailing of orchards and fruit trees dates from a time out of mind and is a folk tradition intended to promote a healthy fruit crop and provide a blessing on the community that depend on them. 🙏
The Tamworth Tap Wassail will follow the time-honoured tradition of annual wassailing. The procession, through the ancient Hop Yard in the shadow of the Castle, will make noise to awaken the spirits of the trees from their winter sleep on whatever ‘instruments’ come to hand, before gathering by the ceremonial tree where hot mulled cider will be passed around. 🏰📯🌳
Toast will be placed on the tree branches representing a gift to the spirit of the tree itself and a libation poured on its roots. 🍞🎗
A traditional song will be sung - one of our amazing Tappers has written one especially for us! - followed by a blessing and a short recital calling for a bountiful harvest in the coming year. 🎼🎶
Grab something to bang - pots and pans are perfect - and join us in The Hop Yard for some fun, some noise and a complimentary mulled cider. 🥁🍻🍎🍏
