Here we come a-wassailing or a-fashionista-ring! Wassail queens assemble at Taunton Castle and model the new old style costumes combining medieval chic with 1970s style topped off by embroidered designs inspired by nature. A traditional wassail in Whimple is held on old Twelfth Night of 17 January with the incantation Here's to thee, old apple tree, That blossoms well, bears well. Hats full, caps full, Three bushel bags full, An' all under one tree. Hurrah! Hurrah!
