UPDATED - Ranger Activities - Apple Harvest Weekends
The harvest has come early! Grab a wheelbarrow and help the Ranger team to harvest the apples from the orchards over two weekends in October.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
The harvest has come early! Weather conditions this year, with a hot dry summer and recently lots of rainfall, mean that the apples are ripening earlier than usual.
Instead of our annual half term harvest event, join the Ranger team in the orchards at Barrington Court, on 4-5 October and 11-12 October, to gather in the apples with our mini wheelbarrows.
Our orchards are home to well over 100 varieties of apples and once collected, they will go off to be turned into delicious cider.
