- St Ives Community Orchard & Nature Reserve Apple Wassail
Saturday 25 January 2025 15:00
st Ives Community Orchard
.
Wassail!
One and all are invited to our annual orchard celebration to wish our trees good health, to liven up the darkest days, and wake the orchard from its winter slumber.
Expect fire, singing, orchard cider and juice , merriment, and much toasting of the trees.
Dress code: Winter Greenery, your finest branches and foliage.
Tradition of Wassailling
One of the customs that helped brighten up the dark Winter evenings is the wassail, known as “warzail” in Cornish dialect and “wassel” in Kernewek. In essence it is a custom involving a song that blesses the apple tree and wishes good luck for the coming year's crop.
Wassail!

- RAME Beer & Buses 2025
Saturday 5 July 2025
RAME Peninsula
Welcome to the event page for the fourth 'Rame Beer and Buses' event, to be held on July 5th 2025.
As in the previous years, between 11am and 9pm, we shall be operating a network of routes across the Rame Peninsula. These will radiate from Torpoint and Millbrook to take in many of the peninsula's pubs and bars, with the services being provided by classic buses from the 1950s to the 2000s. You dont have to visit any pubs, you are more than welcome to join us for a free ride through the wonderful Cornish countryside!
The routes for this year will run in a slightly revised format to years gone by, which we will publish nearer the time. We aim to provide an increased number of buses this year to cater for the popularity shown last year, and to a revised design, to make hopping around right throughout the peninsula, easier.
While all buses are free, a souvenir programme will be on offer for a small sum, which will give you details of the timetables, pubs you can visit on route, and vehicles you can use to reach them, as well as other interesting items. We hope to have these available several weeks prior to the event for pre-order, so that you can plan your day. Again, further details will be available nearer the occasion.
There is no need to book, just turn up on the day!
We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
