Save the date – Saturday 10th January 2026

We’re thrilled to announce the return of one of our most popular celebrations, our Traditional Tudor Wassail!

Join us at Michelham Priory House & Gardens on Saturday 10th January 2026 for a magical evening of dancing, drumming, fire and feasting to bless the trees and wish them good health for the year ahead.

Bring your instruments, dress yourself in foliage and feathers, and take part in the torchlit procession to wake the apple trees, chase away spirits, and celebrate winter as the Tudors once did.

Tickets will be released in October 2025 – this beloved event sells quickly, so mark your calendars and get ready!

Make sure you sign up to our newsletter below to hear about it first!
