Wassailing is a centuries-old winter tradition of blessing the orchards and 'waking up' apple trees, to ensure a good crop of apples next year. Join us for a winter experience in Greytown's Molewood Orchard.

Become part of a merry band of revellers dancing, chanting and shouting, hitting trees, pouring cider, hanging toast and other craziness, all led by Greytown's mighty Scallyrag Border Morris dancers.

Border Morris is a tradition from the Welsh borders. Performers usually wear rags, face paint, feathers in their hats and dance with sticks. It’s a stompy, explosive, gothic kind of dance: imagine a barn dance or ceilidh but with added sticks and noise! Entry from 3pm from the western end of Farley Avenue through the door in the shelterbelt. This is a working orchard in winter. There may be sheep. Gumboots are recommended!
