Our Events

Introduction

Each year the Friends organise events in the Orchard to involve the local community and enhance their awareness and enjoyment of this special green space. These events mark the seasons – a spring event in May to enjoy the trees in blossom and the carpets of flowers in the meadow, and an autumn event in October to gather and press the apples.

Upcoming Events

Join us for Apple Pressing 2024!

 

We've reuctantly cancelled Sunday due to the wet weather forecast but Saturday will now be twice as good with picking from 09:30 and then pressing of the apples.
You'll still be able to get your fix of juice and produce!​
