With National Apple Day this weekend, Bury Village is hosting its very first Apple Day on Sunday, October 20.

The event starts at 9.30am with an optional walk of around three miles (4.5km) from Bury Village Hall to Pill Pond in West Burton where there are several rare apple trees, planted over fifty years ago, that can be picked for juicing. Awaiting walkers (who bring their own mug) is free hot chocolate and coffee, before returning to Bury Village Hall for the apple pressing between 12-2pm.

At the Village Hall there will be children’s games, burger, hot dogs and apple crumble (in return for a small cash donation) followed by a fruit tree planting in the village as part of the Thousand Trees initiative.
