Please join us in this old tradition to wish the trees good health for the year ahead. Apple juice as a refreshment will be provided, but please bring your own cup or drinking vessel as well as battery operated torches. If you own any loud instruments, you are welcome to bring them along, or alternatively bring some pots and pans to bang!
Wrap up warm for the festivities, and please wear appropriate footwear as the ground is uneven in places.
We look forward to seeing you from 4pm! Parking at the site is limited, so please keep this in mind.
