Come long whether you have apples or not, as there is usually plenty to spare and it’s been a bumper fruit crop this year. On the day, bring clean bottles, e.g. plastic drinks bottles, to take juice away and have a go at pulping and pressing the fruit – link. Did you know there is a community orchard in Monmouth?
