Pepys Parish Wassailing

Parish Wassailing with Pepys!
Friday 12th December 2025 from 6pm starting at The Ship Inn, Hart Street

With our Nordic roots, it is particularly appropriate that we revive the tradition of Wassailing at St Olave Hart Street! Please join us as we Wassail around the pubs and taverns of the parish, singing carols and spreading good cheer. We will be joined by our bellringers – from the University of London Society of Change Ringers – and singers from our choirs, the St Olave Singers and the St Olave Scholars. We’ll be following in the footsteps of one of the parish’s most famous residents, Samuel Pepys.

All are welcome. We start at The Ship, Hart Street, at 6pm. We will be singing outdoors so dress appropriately!
