The Dunton Wassail is hosted by Letchworth Morris and is on:

Saturday 3rd January 2026 - starting at 6.30pm

And the Bedford Morris Men will be there! We’ll be dancing Border Morris and the ancient Abbots Bromley Horn Dance.

The Dunton Wassail is held in the farmyard at Church Farm, Dunton. Take the road to the left of the March Hare pub (if you are looking at it). This is Church Street and Church Farm is at the end of this road, just behind the church. Come through the gates and past the farmhouse and stables into the farm yard.

Wassails are very much community affairs with a number of village groups involved with the event. We have soup and hot dogs from Dunton Community Garden, mulled cider, Dancing from Letchworth Morris, Bedford Morris Men and Hicca Hoodlums, And a mummers play from the Barfront Guizers.

Who would think you could have so much entertainment in one evening?

Wrap up warm, bring a torch, a saucepan lid and a wooden spoon. Once the wassailers have hung toast soaked in cider in the trees in the orchard and sung a couple of wassail songs we toast the apple trees then make as much noise as possible to encourage the trees to bear as many apples as possible next year

Wassail! Wasail! All over our land!
