A wassail was held at the Otley Chevin Orchard Project on the Otley Chevin to carry out the traditional English winter custom of blessing orchards for a good harvest.
The ritual involves singing, dancing, and making noise to "wake" the trees.
Food is also hung in the trees to help them blossom.
Members of the Wharfedale Wayzgoose Border Morris attended to take part in the traditional event, which took place on Saturday (Jan 10).
We sent photographer Tony Johnson along to catch the best of the action. Take a look at the best pictures from the event below.
