Orchard Tours and Lunches 2025
Summer Series 2025
19.00 - Dinner - Saturday 21st June
11.00 - 15.00 - Saturday 5th July
Following on from the success of our harvest open day in September, we're running a series of tours and lunch dates this summer. It's an opportunity to see the orchard at its zenith with a delicious 3 course menu in the, hopefully, summer sunshine. We want to take the opportunity to showcase what we do behind the scenes, and how our trade funds these objectives.
