It's that time of year when nature starts to renew, reuse and recycle. This October half term, come to Dudmaston and help this natural process along. Rake the up the leaves, use some of nature's treasures to make a wild masterpiece or help us to turn the apples from our orchards into delicious, fresh juice.

Nature's recycling trail

Autumn is the time of year when nature begins to renew, reuse and recycle. Follow the trail around the orchard and courtyards to help this natural process along! Trails are £2 including a small prize. Collect your map from the shop. Available throughout half term week.

Apple pressing

Each year we press our apples and bottle their tasty juices, ready to go on sale in the shop and tea room. Join us for Harvest season from 14 -31 October and help us press our apples and celebrate harvest time.
