In the depth of the dark winter we gather for an ancient celebration of the apple trees. Stepping back to the Anglo-Saxon period we will gather in the Orchard of East Riddlesden Hall for warm juice, an Imbolc story, songs, blessing of the trees, and waking of the spirits to ensure a good harvest and good health for the year ahead.
