Wassail night by firelight & candlelight at Lewes Saturday Folk Club
Saturday 10th. January
Elephant & Castle, White Hill, Lewes, Sussex, UK BN7 2DJ

We light the log fire and the candles tonight. Bring songs and tunes for winter and wassailing.

Bring a long twig from your own apple tree for our indoor wassailing ceremony to share in any blessing it might give.

We'll be serving Twelfth Cake, (orange peel, crystallised ginger, honey, spices, rum) and a wassail bowl of hot spiced old ale.

Everyone is welcome, especially if you'd like to sing or play. We mostly sing and play traditional music from the British Isles, but we enjoy other styles as well. We always start off with some English dance tunes for anyone with an instrument to join in.

We have a loyalty card. Six visits earn you £5 off an evening when admission is £5 or more. It's £4 tonight.
