We are looking forward to welcoming you to our first Community Cider Press in Woodlands. We expect for the day to be full of apples and laughter. The event timings are below. However, everything depends on the weather and the amount of apples we have. So some things might evolve (or devolve) accordingly.

2pm - Lunch (soup, bread, cheese and cake)

3pm - Apple Games

4pm - Back to pressing, accompanied by fire pit baked potatoes, apples and s'mores

6pm - Wrap up

YOUR APPLES

  • Can be dropped off at the hall on Thursday, 29th September from 3.30pm-5.30pm
  • Alternatively, we can collect them from your driveway, you just need to let us know in advance.

 WHAT TO BRING ON THE DAY

  • Your own cup (not glass) to drink juice or cider.
  • Rubber gloves, if you want to get your hands dirty and experience the day to the full
  • At least 6 x 750ml plastic bottles to take home with you. These could be re-used juice or milk containers.
