Members of the public are invited to attend a free festival to celebrate apples at Beverley Parks Local Nature Reserve. East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Apple Fest will appeal to all ages and will be held on Sunday, 11th October at the Millennium Orchard, Beverley Parks, from 11 am to 3 pm.
The event has been organised by East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s countryside access team. Funding for the event has been provided by the East Yorkshire Federation of Women’s Institutes, Local Heritage Initiative and East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
Amongst the activities planned for the Apple Fest are falconry displays, chainsaw carving, environmental art, face painting, charcoal burning and marquees packed with countryside activities and information. The Women’s Institutes will be providing a multitude of apple related sweets and savouries to taste, whilst the Northern Fruit Group will be on hand to identify apple varieties – please bring three typical examples.
James Taylor, countryside access officer for East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “The Apple Fest at Beverley Parks is a wonderful opportunity to find out about preserving apples varieties, traditional landscapes and crafts. With a wide range of activities for all the family set in one of East Riding’s most fascinating nature reserves, this really will be a great way to spend a Sunday. And it’s free too!”
To attend the Apple Fest, simply turn up to the Millennium Orchard between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Free car parking is available and a new hard standing footpath will lead you to the activities.
