The village celebrated a new apple season with a traditional Wassail. Evil spirits were driven away from the trees with gunfire, Robins, the good spirits of the orchards, were tempted to feed in the orchard with bread dipped in cider and hung on branches, the trees were woken up from their winter sleep by beating their trunks and feeding their roots with cider, and everyone celebrated with lambswool, a warmed drink of cider and cooked apple. As each year, the Armaleggan dancers were the highlight of the festivities.
