Wassailing in Sutton and Carshalton - 5th Jan 2008

Wassailing the apple trees and the barns: Celebrants gather (as below) in apple orchards where they perform ritual acts to ensure that there will be a good apple harvest the following year. The wassail beverage is consumed and bonfires lighted. In the orchards noise is made to chase off evil spirits, guns are fired.

Orchard visiting wassails are most prevalent in the West Country the most famous of these being held in Carhampton  (Somerset) and Whimple (Devon).
