Cressing Temple Barns: Apple Day

Join The Friends of Cressing Temple for Apple Day and buy some of heritage apple varieties.

You can also have a go at apple juicing with a traditional press, learn from apple experts and identify your own apple varieties. You can also learn more about the orchards at Cressing and how to care for your fruit trees.

If you have an apple tree in your garden which you don’t know the name of, why not ask the apple experts from the East of England Apples and Orchards Project if they can identify it for you? Bring two or three of the apples along on the day and they will do their best to help.

Also on the day: Cider, bee-keeping, honey, craft stalls, entertainment, children’s activities, plant and produce sales, willow craft and refreshments.

They'll also be medieval re-enactment by The Companye of Merrie Folk, a dedicated and experienced group of re-enactors portraying the daily lives of the common people and gentry alike in the medieval and Tudor periods.

There will also be Morris and clog dancers and live music. For younger visitors Gemma’s Farm will be setting up their mobile farm experience and there will be a garden trail.

It's a fun day for all the family!
