Crowds gathered as we hosted a successful day of traditional celebration and environmental action on Saturday, January 17th, combining a festive Wassail with community tree planting activities that brought around 200 people and an Alpaca together for a joyful afternoon.

The community event, delivered through a collaborative partnership between Nailsworth Town Council and Stroud Valleys Project, offered residents of all ages the opportunity to engage with local traditions while contributing directly to Nailsworth’s environmental future.

Environmental efforts took centre stage at the King George V playing field, where the Stroud Valleys Project team facilitated the planting of 28 new trees. This initiative forms part of the Town Council’s ambitious five-year tree planting plan.

The festive spirit continued into the afternoon with a traditional Wassail celebration. Attendees enjoyed vibrant performances and sing-alongs by the Stroud Folk Choir, traditional tree blessings, and toast gifting led by Wassail Butler, Simon. The event also featured free children’s crafts and refreshments, ensuring an inclusive celebration for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who came along.
