Tatworth and Forton Parish Council will be hosting its first and hopefully annual Wassail ceremony at Jubilee Fields 18th January.

The wassail ceremony is an event to wake fruit trees from their winter slumber and scare away evil spirits, ensuring a good harvest.

The tradition of Wassailing is thought to originate from the Anglo-Saxon times where the word “wassail” means “good health”.

We would like a good crowd to enjoy this historic ceremony.
