Wassail at Heckfield Home Farm

Join us for our very own Wassail on 4 January 2025 at 3 PM, where we’ll come together in our orchard for much merrymaking and classic Wassail rituals such as age-old folk songs to banish bad energy while sipping warm drinks to stay cosy.

A Twelfth Night tradition, Wassail is said to encourage spirits that will promise a rich harvest in seasons to come. The word is said to derive from the Old English ‘was hál’, meaning to be hale, or in good health – something we wish upon Home Farm with whole heart.

Learn about the history of trees, the orchard at Home Farm and Wassailing.

This event will take place at Heckfield Home Farm: Heckfield Home Farm, Bramshill Rd, Hook RG27 0LA, UK

Join us after for dinner in Marle or Hearth. Reservations are required, and you can make book by emailing restaurants.reservations@heckfieldplace.com.
