In What's On

Apple Day is a national annual event now in its 32nd year. At The Folk, it is not just a celebration of apples and their history but a celebration of Gloucestershire produce, too.

The Folk of Gloucester is once again the hub of this year's celebration in the city and on Saturday 22 October will be hosting a variety of events including music, dancing, talks and demonstrations.

A few of the highlights being:

  • Over 30 varieties of apple to try that you won’t find in the shops
  • One of the last surviving horse drawn cider mills in the southwest
  • Morris dancing performances in the street and at The Folk from Lassington Oak, Tattered Court, England’s Glory, Gloucestershire Morris.
  • Lots of children’s activities including painting with food waste.
  • Madcap inventions like the apple press bike
  • Stalls from local producers including Severn Cider
  • The Secret Garden Café offering a locally sourced ploughman’s.

Frank, a five-year old cob, once described as “the plum stealing pony”, is returning to help crush apples into cider. And thanks to Frank, and his owners, you will get to see one of the last surviving cider mills in the southwest brought to life.
