Apple Day - Sunday 22 October 2017, 2-4pm

Don't miss the much-loved apple tasting table, featuring more than two-dozen different varieties to try, including rare, local, and distinctive fruits, not usually found in the shops.  Juice making is an energetic and family-friendly activity.  Fresh-pressed juice tastes much more interesting than commercial juice, and brings even greater pleasure when accompanied by a slice of lovely home-made cake from the refreshments stall.  Visitors to this year’s Apple Day can enjoy the newly planted Home Orchard Plot (HOP) – a mini orchard with a 10 x 4 metre footprint.  Orchard members planned and planted the HOP project to inspire everyone to grow fruit in small spaces.
