You can't have a good Wassail without a decent Kentish Cider, a drink that can be traced back to Kent as far back as Roman times.

Wassailing has long been a tradition in cider-making counties in Autumn. In Kent, we take part in the "Orchard Wassail", traditionally held on Twelfth Night in the New Year. Weilding burning torches, villagers take to the orchard to tie red ribbons amongst the apple tree branches and sing Wassailing songs in the hope of a bounty of apples for the next harvest! 

 

Our Kentish Cider ghost is a vibrant green to represent the apples used in cider-making, with random metallic golden mists, representing the flaming torches and rich harvest the Wassailing will bring.

 

Each Kent Coast Ghost is carefully handcrafted from clay and goes through several processes, which include drying, sanding, sealing, painting, and finally varnishing, (dependent on the final finish).

We don't use moulds to create Kentish ghosts; every feature is added by hand using traditional clay tools, and this gives each ghost its own unique features. Some of our ghosts are not perfectly straight, or may have different expressions in their eyes and faces, and each ghost is individually hand-painted so may contain slightly different patterning to the ghost pictured. 

 

All of our ghosts will be sent in a gift box with a Certificate of Authenticity especially for your ghost, and yours alone. These are put in a special envelope sealed with our very own special spooky wax seal ready for the Ghost Post to deliver them to their new Ghost Host!
