Apple Pressing Day & collecting for Ashtead Apple Juice. Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall. Midday to 3pm
We will have a demonstration apple press which you can come and try making your own juice. We are also collecting apples this year to take to Ringden Farm to be commercially pressed, pasteurised and bottled. The juice will be ready for collection about a month later. More details to follow. Bring your apples along!
10am to 4pm
As part of the Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall 90th anniversary celebrations, in the main APMH hall we will have a display showing the food available in the years 1924-1954 including rationing and we are contrasting that with a display of the abundance of foods available in 2014 to highlight our ‘War on Food Waste’.
