Apple Day with lots of lovely apple crafts and activities!
Apple pressing: 11:00-13:00 Apple day activities: 12:00 – 16:00 Harvest Hunt: 13:00-14:30.
On arrival at Clovelly, apples are pressed just outside the visitor centre by Gatcombe valley Juices. Bring a bag of apples, have them pressed, taste the juice. Bring more for pasteurisation and bottling (£1.90 per 75 cl bottle).
On entry to Clovelly, enjoy apple crafts and activities in the Visitor Centre (children under 7, free). The rounded shapes of the great reds and greens make the apples perfect for creating many art projects with the help of The Plough Arts Centre. Carve, sculpt, decorate or do all three. There is also live music, apple bobbing, apple stamping and making corn dollies.
