A fabulous time was had by all!
About 120 people braved the cold to join in with our first Llandrindod Community Wassail on Saturday 21 January 2017. Participants came from far and wide, including the Mari Lywd Ystradgynlais, drummers, singers, the Mayor of Llandrindod and the Llandrindod Town Crier.
We hope the pictures give a flavour of the event. A brightly dressed procession went from the bandstand on Temple Gardens to the community orchard site on Alexandra playing fields. The participants decorated the trees with toast and ribbons and enjoyed mulled cider with orchard-themed nibbles. As darkness fell, Rhian Hill, acting as the Wassail Queen, gave the incantation before everyone joined in noisemaking to wake up the trees.
We could have done it without a grant from the wonderful Llandrindod Soup, as well as support from so many others, including the Town Council and Arvon Ales. Many, many thanks to all who helped out before and during the event!
