Welcome the New Year and wassail the apple trees in Norton Priory's orchard to encourage a good year's harvest. This event follows a rich tradition of encouraging the spirits to ensure a good harvest the following season. It involves a visit to our Wassail Orchard - located just behind the museum visitor centre. Expect singing, dancing, a little drinking (!) and some general merrymaking. As well as being a time-honoured tradition, it's also the perfect antidote to the January blues.
