Wassailing evening 2024

  • Chadkirk Chapel and Country Estate Vale Road Stockport, England, SK6 United Kingdom (map)

We’re kicking off 2024 with an evening of wassailing down at Chadkirk, on Saturday 7 January. What is wassailing, I hear you ask?

Orchard-visiting wassail is an ancient custom, where people gather in orchards to sing, dance and promote the good harvest for the coming year. We will meet at the car park on Vale Road; please arrive by 4:45pm.

From there, at 5:00pm, the Stockport Morris Men will lead a torch and lantern procession down to the chapel, where the wassailing ceremony will be held in the walled garden, followed by Morris dancing in the Chapel. Hot drinks (including mulled cider) will be on sale, along with snacks such as biscuits and cakes.

Any children attending will need to be accompanied by adults.


This is a ticketed event, to help us manage numbers, but tickets are free. Tickets must be shown to enter the chapel, buy refreshments, use the facilities and watch the Morris Men. All tickets for this event have now gone.


We would please ask that people only order tickets if they are sure they can come, because numbers are limited, and this would stop others attending.

The event starts at 5:00 pm, be there at 4:45 pm please.

All tickets for this event have now gone.
