Description
The Eleventh Annual Apple Day 22nd October 2007 10am - 4pmA decade ago, the Cambridge University Botanic Garden led the way in celebrating the diversity of regional apple growing by initiating its Apple Day. The event is now the largest in East Anglia, regularly attracting around 5000 people who come to taste and buy over 30 different varieties of unusual apples all grown in the Eastern region.
This year, to celebrate its 10th birthday, Apple Day will be bigger and better than ever before.

Apple edibles: Local producers of apple edibles such as jams, juices, ciders, hot apple toddy even, will be encouraging visitors to try and buy.
Apple tasting and buying: With the help of tasting notes, visitors will be able to try over 30 different and unusual, locally-grown apple varieties before buying up their favourites.
Apple Day for children: Thanks to support this year from Waitrose, activities for children will run through the day and involve making and decorating an apple orchard and creating a huge apple mosaic.
