Apple Harvest Celebration

Join us at Erddig’s annual apple harvest celebration, taking place over two weekends: 5 and 6 October and 12 and 13 October. This festive occasion honours the timeless tradition of apple picking with a variety of activities for the whole family. Explore our historic apple display, purchase freshly picked apples (while stocks last), and enjoy creative craft sessions where you can make apple themed art and decorations. Get competitive with family games like ‘hook the apple,’ perfect for all ages.

Savour the flavours of autumn with a drink from the cider bar or a tasty pork and apple bap. And don’t miss the chocolate apple fountain—dip fresh apple slices into melted chocolate for a sweet treat to complete your visit.

October Half Term

Join us this October half term at Erddig, from 26 October to 3 November, for a week of harvest-themed garden games that the whole family can enjoy. From 10am to 5pm daily, take part in fun activities like wheelbarrow racing, digging for gourds, corn toss and sack dash. Unleash your creativity with our harvest craft sessions on 28 and 30 October from 11am to 3pm, where you can make mini scarecrows from lollypop sticks or try leaf printing.
