Apple Day Celebration at Macclesfield Riverside Park

Description

To mark Apple Day 2026, come and join us at Riverside Park to celebrate all things apple, orchards and discover more about our country's rich heritage of apple growing.

We'll try a variety of different apples, some of which are grown right here in our community orchard. We'll also have a go at apple pressing alongside other apple and orchard themed activities.

This event is FREE but please book in advance so we get an idea of numbers attending. You can however just drop-in on the day. Photo credit - Jim Higham.
