Join BEES and Bradford Apple Group in Bowling Community Orchard for a fun day celebrating all things apple!

The orchard is within Bowling Park Allotments on Bowling Park Drive. What3Words//wiser.cuts.tight

This annual event celebrates all things apple, pear and native fruits as well as encouraging food production, community cohesion, engagement in nature, education and entertainment.

Between 12 and 4pm there will be

• stalls
• cafe
• organic chutney, sauce and jam sales
• home-made cakes and treats – native fruit related
• art and craft stalls for children
• seed sales
• juicing fresh apples with a traditional press
• music

We always need help both prior to the event to prepare the organic orchard and on the day to

• help set up before 10am
• help run a stall or activity – between 10am and 4pm – part day is fine
• help take down at the end of the day – after 4pm
• bakers and home chefs to make orchard fruit related cakes, snacks and savoury treats
• makers of jam, chutney sauce and fruit related goods to sell on our stall

Of course, you and your family and friends can always enjoy the day in our gorgeous orchard as well as volunteering with us.
