Come along and celebrate the humble apple with us on the official Apple Day!You’re invited to join in and press apples into delicious apple juice! If you have any spare apples, please bring as many as you can. Please bring containers to take the juice home.
We want to stop as much fruit being wasted as possible so if you know where we can get apples, please let us know.
At 12:00 we will run a guided foraging walk that will take in the nature reserve, collect as many apples as we can, and talk about the richness and diversity of landscape, ecology and culture too.
Apple expert Chris Bird from Sparsholt College will be joining us with the College Fruit collection, including their National Plant Collection of Hampshire & Isle of Wight Apples. If you have an apple tree in your garden or allotment, and would like to know what type of apple it is, they can help you ID it! Simply bring your apples with you to find out!
If you are after some autumn inspiration, we will also be selling pumpkins and squashes for both display and eating.
We will be selling refreshments, cakes, and sausages, beef, and vegan burgers, with chutney or apple sauce, and vegan pumpkin and apple soup.
This event is FREE
