As always, the weather had taken centre
stage and whilst there had been a general turn for the
better from the ice and snow of late December, the
evening was preceeded by quite a lot of rain, although it
had stopped before the event got underway and by the time
of the Wassail ceremony itself 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 the Wassail Queen
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. Do you have any photos of the event? Our webmaster is very keen to receive them for the website. Just email them. There is some coverage on a local internet news channel. Look here |
