To celebrate National Apple Day, we are working with Herefordshire Food Alliance to bring together local food, cider, perry and juice producers to shine a light on sustainable agricultural practice and the role of traditional orchards.
Join us and immerse yourself in a vibrant gathering, showcasing a variety of regional fare, informative talks and apple-related activities.
Herefordshire's traditional orchards are rich with wildlife and vitality. They serve as havens for a myriad of bird species, offering natural pest control. Join us to celebrate the importance of these precious habitats, how they are an integral part of Herefordshire’s wider ecosystem, and how we as consumers, can play our part in their preservation.
We have an exciting array of bookable talks (see below) as well as a great range of free activities throughout the day:
Free family activities, linking apples, soil and everything in between. Expect juicing, food from scratch, how to ID apples and lots more!
A screening of the film Six Inches of Soil and commentary from local regenerative farmer Richard Thomas

Foraged cocktail-making, tasting and book signing with Liz Knight from Forage Fine Foods
