We recreate the wonderful Christmas tradition of Wassailing, on the sites it was once celebrated by the Kings of England. Bring family and Yuletide visitors for a special holiday experience of sharing the Wassail bowl filled with hot lambswool.

Waking the apple trees with bells and bygone chants where the Royal Palace orchards once stood.

We’ll walk the ancient streets of Geddington, singing Christmas carols and be rewarded with figgy puddings.

We will be a'wassailing each weekend from mid-December into January but if you have a group of 6 or more we will gladly book a date and time at your convenience. Email your request or any questions to the contacts below or email toursbykam@gmail.com
