The very first Apple Day at Shenley Park was held in 1992 in the Chapel on Porters Park Drive. This continued to be the venue until 2006 when the event was moved to The Walled Garden. This had to be done because Apple Day was becoming so popular the Chapel was no longer large enough.

In the Walled Garden we had a marquee in case of rain, which was a good job as there was torrential rain all day. Still over 1000 people came.

In 2007 we hired an even larger marquee in case the weather repeated itself but instead we had beautiful sunshine and 3000 people to the day.

If you have never been to Apple Day before it is a must - there is something for everybody and you will enjoy it.

Here are some pictures of previous Apple Days.
