The annual Stoke Gabriel Wassail. A magical evening of ‘Cider, Culture & Cheer’, organised by the ‘Friends of Stoke Gabriel School’ (FOSS), the Annual Wassail has become a very popular event and helps raise funds to enrich the lives of local children in school and community. Apple Wassailing is an ancient tradition performed in many villages on 'Old Twelfth Night' to bless the cider apples and orchards and encourage a good crop in the coming year. There will also be folk music; local food and drinks and licensed bar. The Apple Blessing Ceremony and lantern procession take place within the village orchard with wassail songs led by Rosa Rebecka.
If you would like to sing with the Wassail Singers for this event (rehearsals Sunday 6/1/2019 in Totnes, Thursday 10/1/2019 in Torquay and Sunday 13/1/2019 in South Brent), please contact John Rawlinson This email address is being protected from spambots.
