Eliza Carthy & Jon Boden's Wassail

🎶 A Folk Celebration Like No Other

Step into a magical winter tradition as two of the UK’s most celebrated folk musicians, Eliza Carthy and Jon Boden, bring their spectacular Winter Wassail to the Assembly Halls.

Long before carolling, festive revellers roamed from house to house, exchanging songs for money, food, and ale - a tradition known as wassailing, derived from the Old English waes hael, meaning "be in good health." Now, Eliza and Jon invite you to join them for a joyful, heartwarming evening of music and merriment, celebrating the very best of the season.

These two legendary folk artists combine exceptional musicianship with warm storytelling, creating a night of festive magic, community spirit, and timeless tradition.
