Fancy giving us a hand picking apples for Killertons apple juice and cider production?
We are hosting an apple picking day on Sunday 5 October, where you can help us to pick apples from Sparrow Park Orchard, which will then be used in our apple juice and cider production this year. On arrival you’ll receive a bucket, some instructions as to what we do and don’t want, and then you can pick apples for as long or as little as you’d like! This is a fun event for all ages.
Sparrow Park is just across the road from the main visitor car park, where you can park. Toilets are located in the car park, and please take care when crossing the road. This is a drop in session where you can stay for as long or as little as you like, running from 10.30am until 3pm.
Please book a space so we have an idea of numbers.
