Wassail at Buckland Abbey

Join us as we bless the newly planted fruit trees at Buckland Abbey!

2025 started with us inviting everyone to help us plant 30,000 trees as part of the Community Forest Project. Now we need your help to Wassail the newly planted orchard to bring on good harvests for the future.

Led by the Buckland Abbey rangers - meet outside the Great Barn with your pots and pans so you can make noise and ward off the bad spirits!
