and Details of this years Apple Day

Until 2006 Apple Day was held in The Chapel in Shenley Park. Due to the popularity of the event however the Chapel was no longer large enough. Apple Day moved to the Walled Garden, under a marquee - in case of rain - which indeed it did on 22nd October, 2006. Torrential rain did not deter 1000 people coming to the event. In 2007 the weather was beautiful, sunny and very warm after a cold start - 3000 people came last year.
