During my research I found information about Wassail tradition. I wanted to go last year but my plans for January changed so I wasn\u2019t able to take part. This year I told my husband \u201cWe HAVE TO go\u201d. I started looking for the event during Christmas time and we decided to visit Westons Cider Mill in Much Marcle, Herefordshire.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe event started about 7pm with Morris dances. We love this traditional music and dance. Our son Tadeusz also enjoyed the performance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The most impressive was a procession with torches. It was amazing \u2013 people gathering around the mill with warm light. After about 10 min walk we entered the orchard and started to singing wassail songs. There were also a traditional Butler\u2019s speech and chanting.\u00a0Of course, there was a shotgun fired up to scare\u00a0away evil spirits. I tried cider from wassail bowl too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We really enjoyed the event. Leszek had an opportunity to take some pictures in the\u00a0orchard and practice his skills with shooting pics in the dark.<\/p>\n
