Attingham Park has 130 traditional fruit trees with 37 apple varieties - some of the oldest such as the Worcester Russet and Grenadier dating as far back as the 1850s.

Gardener Colin Morris says: “It’s a fun day out for all and our visitors can come along and buy a carrier bag which they can fill with windfalls or apples picked from the trees.”

Visitors will be able to see Attingham’s own apple press in action and will be able to purchase freshly pressed apple juice. The press, made from English green oak, was specially commissioned and funded by money raised at the second-hand book shop in the stables at Attingham.

There will also be a display of apples in the bothy and a volunteer will be talking to people about the different varieties. Visitors will be able to take the opportunity to walk throught he newly opened walled garden and see the renovated glass house.

Local producers including Mahorall Farm cider will be selling their goods and there will also be toffee apples, chutneys, apple preserves, pickles and Shropshire honey for sale. Plants and vegetable boxes will also be available to buy.

The National Trust tea-room will have a variety of apple-themed dishes.

Visitors can enjoy demonstrations of wood turning and carving as well as basket weaving.

The activities will take place from 11am to 4pm. Normal admission charges to the property will apply.
