It’s a long way off, but please make a note in your diary of our 2025 apple-pressing day which will be held on Sunday 12th October at the Redlake Valley Village Hall in Chapel Lawn. This will be the fifth year that we’ve run this event and the weather’s always been good – so there’s obviously no need to bring your umbrella!

If you’ve taken part before, you’ll know how enjoyable it is to bring your apples and screw-top bottles along for scratting and pressing, followed by pasteurisation while you have a coffee and a natter with the others there. If you’ve not been before, and you think you may have a good crop of apples (or can get some from someone who will have), make this your first year.
