On Saturday, Dec 20th, Potters Craft Cider is holding its 11th annual Wassail. It is a day and night filled with live music, mulled cider, fire pits, delicious food, sing-alongs, and more.

Wassailing is a Medieval Christmastide English drinking tradition, celebrated to ensure a good cider apple harvest for the next year. We’ll drink wassail (hot mulled cider) and sing to the trees. The event will be held both indoors and outdoors, so make sure to dress warmly to fully experience the celebration.

It runs from 12pm - 9pm. More information and tickets available here.
