FESTIVAL UPDATE for Saturday 21st October

We're going to have a bit of a windier festival compared to the last couple of years, but as we are located in the sheltered Porlock Visitor Centre Orchard Garden, we won't be too affected.

There might be a shower or two in the area during the day, but we've erected 3 big marquees, event shelters, and gazebos to keep them at bay... if they do actually come our way!

Whatever the weather, we have a whole range of attractions to make it a great day out... with something for all. Apart from the main reason, the apple press producing lots of lovely juice, we have many displays of old country crafts being kept alive by skilled crafts persons. A look back to yesteryear!

There will be a prize draw too, with some lovely prizes for the lucky winners. Tickets available on the day only, with the draw around 3.30pm.

Appley cakes, jams, chutneys,soups... and the incredibly popular Hog Roast - with lashings of home-made apple sauce, will all be available. That means no need to worry about a packed lunch! Tea and coffee available too.

New for this year will be an artisan fudge producer - with a fantastic Somerset Cider Apple Fudge, and an equally delicious Toffee Apple Fudge.

Car parking is a two minute walk away from the event site, and we have on-site loos too.

We are looking forward to putting on a great show for you and your family - see you on Saturday 21st October 10.00m to 4.30pm - at the Visitor Centre Garden - TA24 8QD 

Porlock Apple Press & Rural Crafts Festival - Sat 21st October 2017

The posters are up, and all the arrangements are being finalised, with lots of activity behind the scenes to bring you another great showcase of how things were done in years gone by.

We're busy collecting the apple harvest too. It seems like a really good year for the fruit - nice and juicy. The warm spring was great for the blossom pollination, and while we humans might have been disappointed with the moist July and early August, the apples have really benefited.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 21st - at the start of the  school half-term holiday. Rain or shine, there will be a great atmosphere and lots of goodies to see... hear... smell... taste... touch..... and lastly....... to enjoy!!

The best bit is that it's free!
