Come and join us for the 10th Walthamstow Wassail.

Scribble and Smudge will be holding a craft workshop for Wassail revellers to take on their journey singing to the ancient apple tree and parade along Orford road wishing everyone Happy new year!

Apple necklaces to commemorate 10 years of the Walthamstow Wassail. A craft suitable for anyone 2.5 years and up. All abilities of singers are welcome. Heart felt good cheer for our fellow man.

Doors open at 1.30 for the craft and singing starts 2 ish pm .

3pm all singers including wassail harmonisers join in wassail the ancient tree and go on to the village for more Wassailing.

£2 per child /singer

Everyone is welcome, adult singers learn four part harmonies on the same day. Lucy Gibson who organises the Wassail says: This year our theme is "a generous crop of apples" - I can't wait to see the results of the making :-) Our family singing workshop is being led by the excellent Gail Mcloud, who leads the Rose and Crown Singers up on Hoe Street. And it's ACTUALLY TWELFTH NIGHT, which is when we're supposed to be doing all this, so that's a numerical treat for us in our anniversary year.
