Wassail: A look back at a fantastic day!

What a fantastic time we shared at the farm last month for this year’s Penderi Wassail Day. It was brilliant to see so many of our community members joining the Mari Lwyd procession, making plenty of happy noise, and taking part in blessing the orchard and cheering on the apple trees for a fruitful year ahead.

The day was packed with warmth, creativity and hands-on activities, to arts, crafts and a busy café - creating a truly welcoming, community atmosphere throughout.

While rooted in age-old custom (and yes, we love a bit of tradition), Wassail Day is really about connection - to the land, to local heritage, and to one another. We’re incredibly proud of our young volunteers, who stepped up with confidence, gained new skills, and helped run the days event.

We’re excited to see this event continue to grow as a much-loved local tradition. Huge thanks to Sketty Scouts for hosting some brilliant bushcraft sessions, and to David Pitt the Crowman for guiding us through a memorable Mari Lwyd procession. 💚
