Apple Events around the county

Bartonsham Apple Juicing Day. Saturday 26th September between 1.00pm – 4.00pm

The Brailsford Hall, Scouts Corner, Crozen Lane, HR1 2RX

Herefordshire Wildlife Trust is running the event supported by local volunteers. This community event links with Bartonsham Meadows where there is a new orchard which will start fruiting over the next few years.

Come along to The Brailsford Hall Scout Hut at any time between 1pm-4pm to have a go at turning apples into fresh juice using apple pressing equipment. Bring your own apples, clean containers and glass bottles if you have some – or there will be some apples available from local orchards. HWT would also love to build a collection of the community’s favourite recipes – so if you have a favourite apple recipe, feel free to bring it along to share. Everyone is welcome, suitable for all ages. Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.
