Join Chawton House for this centuries’ old Twelfth Night apple-growing celebration, involving hearty singing in the orchard to encourage a bountiful harvest in 2022. Bring along an instrument or anything that will help make a noise to add to the festivities and a torch for the procession through the grounds to the orchard in the Walled Garden, where we will ward off the bad spirits. They will be joined by special guests, the Kings Pond Shantymen, for some lively traditional songs before moving to the Courtyard for a warming serving of soup. The ticket cost includes soup and a mulled cider.
