The Golden Wassail
Celebrate the Community Orchard's Golden Jubilee!
In 2026, both the Woughton Community Orchard and Cider Orchards turn 50! Join the celebrations with The Parks Trust and Mid Shires Orchard Group.
Bring your friends and family along to explore the Community Orchard and enjoy a traditional Wassail ceremony. Bring along whistles, drums, musical instruments or anything noisy to help us chase away pesky spirits and wish for a bountiful harvest for the orchards, as well as good health and wealth for their communities!
A small selection of refreshments will be available, and the opportunity to join a guided tour of the community orchard, led by the Mid-Shire Orchard Group.
These Golden Jubilee events are a great opportunity to meet the Mid-Shire orchard group who care for the Woughton Cider Orchards, ask any questions you may have and learn from their incredible knowledge.
