Wassail Queens Park

Sunday 10 February, 2019, 3 – 5 p.m.

South Seeds, 514 Victoria Road, Glasgow G42 8BG

With Propagate and South Seeds Glasgow

What’s a Wassail?!

It’s a centuries old tradition to wake up apple trees after a winter sleep, chase away bad spirits and ask for a good harvest.

Propagate is working with South Seeds and friends to bring this ancient tradition to Queens Park. There are 2 orchard areas in the park, one near the ponds and another near the flagpole.
The community wassail will involve some of the things in this video

Come and join in this fun and silly ritual and march in a procession to the trees together making a lot of noise!
– Dress in colourful and ridiculous costume
– Bring pots and wooden spoons to bash, drums, bells, whistles and other things to make a noise

There will be wassail song practice sessions in and around Govanhill leading up to the event. If you’d like to organise one for your group, please get in touch via hello@propagate.org.uk or call 07340 531506.
