If you didn’t catch it at lunchtime, look out for the Big Apple tonight on Midlands Today, to hear about what we’ve been doing to let everyone know how to get hold of our ciders, perries and single variety apple juices. Expect a visit to Gregg’s Pit – who knows, we might catch a last glimpse of this year’s blossom!

Blossomtime - A Springtime Celebration. Blossomtime 2020 has been cancelled becasue of the current epidemic. We hope to run Harvestime 2020 in October.This weekend would have been our 30th year of running Blossomtime in Putley! An annual event to enjoy orchard blossom and taste many different ciders, perries and apple juice.
This time of year see products from last years harvest becoming ready to drink. With this in mind many craft cider makers depend on local events, tourism and hospitality business to sell there products - so they are taking a big hit from lockdown.
The nine producers who had arranged to be there this weekend are finding extra ways to make there drinks available. We have made an area on our website with all the details of the producers and how you can get there products! www.bigapple.org.uk/blossomtime-2020/

Please support the Friends of Wolds End Orchard, Chipping Campden, who are trying to save an old traditional orchard from development. For years it has been under threat of being turned into a car park, but now its fate may be turned into yet more up-market housing. The owners of the orchard are The Campden Society - a conservation group, believe it or not. They should be ashamed of themselves. FWEO are on Facebook and Twitter but I don't know how to do a link!!!
