Godmanchester will celebrate Apple Day with a festival featuring a petting farm, live music, and local businesses.

The event will take place on Saturday, October 12, between 10am and 3pm, at the Community Plant Nursery.

This annual celebration acknowledges the nation's cherished apples and orchards, and offers a chance to discover 20 varieties of heritage apples not found in supermarkets.

The Godmanchester Community Plant Nursery, managed by the Town Council, is home to a heritage orchard.

Among the varieties is the Huntingdon Codlin, a dual-purpose apple first cultivated in 1883, which can be eaten or cooked.

For just £1.50 per lb, apple enthusiasts can take home these unique apples.

However, the event offers more than just apples.

Visitors can explore 23 local business stalls, offering everything from upcycled furniture to handmade ceramics.

Free children's activities, a petting farm, live music, face painting, and the chance to pick pumpkins are all part of the day's festivities.

Visitors can also use a traditional apple press to make fresh apple juice.

The Muddy Towel Café, located within the nursery, will be serving cakes made from produce grown in the market garden and orchard.

Jam made from the nursery's own plums and greengages will also be on offer, along with good quality plants and fruit and vegetables grown on site.

The organisers are hoping for another successful turnout after last year's participation of over 1,000 people.

Entry is free, but visitors are encouraged to walk, cycle, or take a bus to the event due to limited parking.

The Godmanchester Community Plant Nursery, primarily run by volunteers, has been developing its role in the Godmanchester community.

It is now a space where people can appreciate nature, stroll around the woodlands, orchard, and gardens, or simply relax outdoors.
