About the event

We have three orchards at Woolley Firs with a wide variety of apples from aromatic wonders through favourites such as Cox's Orange Pippin to newer red, sweet and juicy varieties, plus quince and medlar.

The education centre will be open for you to taste different varieties, make some apple juice and/or buy varieties to take home for cooking, eating, juicing or storing.

If you are thinking about fruit trees for the garden to give shade in the future, and fruit for the table, then do ask us for advice on rootstocks and varieties.

Light refreshments available.
