Wassail on 17 January
Wassailing is an annual tradition of blessing orchards to ensure a good harvest for the year to come. It will involve a song or two, and we’ll toast to the trees. Since 2025, and together with Friends of People's Park and Edible High Town, we're holding a small wassail in People's Park community orchard.

Weather
The weather may be chilly, and the ground may be wet, so dress warmly and wear solid shoes. If a storm or heavy rain is forecast, we may have to postpone - we’d update this webpage by the morning to let you know.
How to join
If you'd like to join, email konni@lutonorchards.org. You can just turn up on the day, but if you let us know, we can make sure we have enough mulled apple juice and cake!
