Do you have apples in your garden or orchard?
Do you like drinking apple juice?
Then please come along to Dittisham Court, off Riverside Road, on Sunday 24th October for the very first Dittisham Apple Pressing day.
The pressing should start around 10.30am and carry on until 2.30pm or all the apples have been pressed. Volunteers welcome.
Bring your apples (not spoilt but they don’t have to be perfect and there will be water to wash them) and clean containers for your juice (resealable glass bottles, plastic milk bottles etc). There will probably be apples in the orchard at Dittisham Court which will need collecting as well if you don’t have any.
This is a free community event and volunteers and participants are asked to register their interest by emailing .
There will be an electric mill to pulp the fruit, and a metal press to squeeze the pulp. There will also be an electric pasteuriser with all the supplementary equipment to go with it so your juice can be preserved for cider-making.
START COLLECTING YOUR APPLES NOW!
This event is sponsored by the Parish of Dittisham Charity, which was set up to fund projects of environmental and community value in the parish, but no liability is accepted by the Charity.
