Event Description

A repeat of last year's great success!

Be a part of the incredible local London wassailing.

Join us for a song and story walk through Willesden Green, help us to celebrate our apple tree's first birthday (the one we planted outside the library!), and come to Monsoon Cafe afterwards for hot drinks and chatter.

*

This is a repeat of 2010's first great success!
We take the ancient English tradition of Wassailing and re-appropriate it for the urban space, celebrating our local independent shopkeepers and infusing our High Street with a dose of happiness in the depths of winter.

Gather outside Willesden Green Tube Station from 2.15pm for a prompt 2.30pm start.

WHO ARE KENSAL-TO-KILBURN FRUIT PICKERS?
A lot of the apples, pears and plums that grow in local back gardens end up rotting on the ground. To reduce food waste, a new project that started in September 2009 has picked nearly a ton of fruit, to be given away free to local schools and sold to local restaurants. Overall, 40 volunteers and 15 garden-owners have contributed to 850 kg of fruit being saved, at the same time getting to know near-neighbours with common values and interests. The project is part of Transition Town Kensal to Kilburn in partnership with Brent Friends of the Earth. Plans for next year include pruning and pest management. For more details contact Michael.Stuart6@gmail.com

WHAT IS MOISHE HOUSE LONDON?
Moishe House London, in Willesden Green, was founded in October 2007. As a Moishe House it is part of a worldwide network of houses that double up as centres of grassroots Jewish community. From our own home, we bring exciting, creative, non-denominational Jewish community to London, also welcoming and supporting our local community. From Friday night dinners to film showings, impromptu concerts to study sessions, meditation to jam sessions to social action events - the possibilities are endless.
