Apple Days 2017 #1: Days Cottage on the Radio
by | posted in: apple day, apples, audio, bees, orchard | 0

Harvest time is here and we’re in the middle of Apple Day Celebrations!

National Apple Day (established by Common Ground back in 1990) is set as the 21st October. But, as many orchard events effectively compete with each other, Apple Day celebrations are often spread over several weekends in October. So some have already happened, others take place over the next week or so (school half term).  For events near you try contacting community orchards in your area – our website listing hasn’t yet been updated but you can access the old list here: https://glosorchards.org/home/localorchards/

Apple Day at Days Cottage was last weekend and involved apples, bees, music, spoon-making and needle-felting!  BBC Radio Gloucestershire (Fay Hatcher’s programme) were on hand to record the celebrations and you can hear an extract below:
