Apple Day 2007
Members of the public were invited to attend a free festival to celebrate Apple Day at the East Riding's newest Local Nature Reserve. East Riding of Yorkshire Council's Apple Fest appealed to all ages and was held on Sunday 14th October 2007 at the Millennium Orchard, Beverley Parks from 11am to 3pm.
The event was organised by East Riding of Yorkshire Council's Countryside Access Team. Funding for the event was provided by the East Yorkshire Federation of Women's Institutes, Local Heritage Initiative and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Amongst the activities for the Apple Fest were Falconry displays, environmental art, face painting, charcoal burning and marquees packed with countryside activities and information.
The Women's Institute provided a multitude of apple related sweets and savouries to taste, whilst the Northern Fruit Group were on hand to identify apple varieties.
