It will feature entertainment of the Wassail Woman, Kickin’ Alice and Appalachain dancers, Blues band Honeyboy Jones, live local choirs and also food. Local trades will offer dishes at Food Village at Bewdley Museum, plus a wide range of ciders, mullard cider and classics.
A parade will start at 2:00pm from the Green Theatre and go through Jubilee Gardens to reach Community Orchard, to celebrate Wassail Ceremony, which will have a Wassail Hat competition too. Participants can get their hat ready at the hat-making workshop from Noon to 2:00pm. The best hat in adult and children categories will be judged by Mayor Calne Edginton-White and Peter Archer, a resident.
Cabinet member for health wellbeing and housing, Councillor Sally Chambers, said the free event is enjoyable and perfect for the family together, with delicious food and music. For more details go the website bewdleymuseum.co.uk.
