After the extremely ice and snow of the previous week, the weather had taken a turn for the better and by the time of the Wassail was near perfect. As always the event commenced with the lighting of the Bonfire and the serving of apple cake & drinks (mulled cider, apple juice, cider) and by the time we were ready for the Wassail Ceremony a large crowd had gathered. The official business was performed by Wassail King Joshua aided by the Lord of Misrule and everyone made their contibution by banging sticks and singing the wassail song (words here)

The celebration was completed by a performance by the Bishopswood Mummers and Border Morris Dancers.
