Visitors to the annual Reaseheath Apple Festival in Nantwich had plenty to get their teeth into, writes Jonathan White.
The free event took place in Reaseheath College’s ‘Crop Shop’ and featured dozens of different varieties of apple.
Apples on display were sourced from the college and an orchard between Nantwich and Whitchurch.
Visitors were able to taste and buy several varieties of apple.
And they could buy or bring their apples and use an apple pressing machine to collect the juice.
Retired Reaseheath lecturers Derek Jones and Harry Delaney were on hand to identify varieties and offer fruit growing advice.
There were also a variety of plants for sale.
Numerous information leaflets and display boards advertised the wide variety of courses available at Reaseheath College.
The Canal & River Trust had a stand and invited new members to join.
Reaseheath’s fruit garden was also open to allow visitors to view fruit trees on a variety of root stocks grown under different systems.
Refreshments were available in the ‘Bootzone’ restaurant/cafe.
