The Great Big Sandwell Valley Wassail - FREE EVENT
Sunday 18 February
Bring your pots and pans to the very first Sandwell Valley Wassail! This is an old pagan tradition to bless apple tress with cider and soaked toast treats to tempt the good spirits and drive away the bad spirits.
Enjoy pork and apple baps, sausage and apple hot dogs, mulled apple juice and cider from our snack shack and watch as our Morris dancers perform a traditional wassailing dance. If you've never been to one before, now is the time to find out about this great English tradition.
