The return of the annual Bristol Urban Wassail! A veritable mix of cider heads, Pagans, punks and general wrong'uns gather to worship the holy apple tree and bring us a good harvest. All to a banging live folk-punk soundtrack!

Live music from Scrumpy & Western nutjobs SKIMMITY HITCHERS, Surfin Turnips' offshoot THE SHINKICKERS and one man cider-folk explosion DD. With special gust DJ BUTTERCUP JOE providing the cider-suppin' soundtrack until late.

PLUS! The ancient Bristol Wassail play will be performed by a cast of chosen gig-goers and innocent bystanders. Tiz fun, fruity and not for the faint of heart! Bring apples and a hearty "Huzzah!"
