As well as a this there will be apple juicing with the North Lakes Orchard Group. Visitors should bring clean apples (handpicked and washed, not rotten) and a container for their juice (on Sunday only). There will be specialist tours focused on the bees with Colin and also on our historic apple collection with Hillary. Herbs, honey and apples have been harvested from Dalemain and will be served as part of our delicious Autumnal menu in the Great Barn Tearoom. Like the apples you see and taste?
