Much MarcleA Feast of Apples

For an afternoon, a day or a full weekend – The Big Apple is a special opportunity to enjoy the autumn countryside in the Herefordshire parishes on the Marcle Ridge a few miles to the west of the market town of Ledbury.

The local orchards are famous for their cider fruit and their excellent eating apples.

Every year since 1989, the award-winning communities of these tiny parishes have put together a collection of small rural events based in and around Much Marcle, to enable you to share with us in our tradition of apple growing and cider making.

This event takes place every year over a weekend in early October. In 2008 this will be October 11th and 12th.

Details of previous years' events can be viewed via the links on the left.
