Apple Day returns to Cockington Court to bring fun for all the family.
The popular autumnal event takes place on Sunday 13 October between 11am and 4pm with free entry to the public.
There will be a wide range of activities including arts and crafts, face painting, live music, an apple-inspired baking competition and over 40 market stalls selling food, drinks and crafts. The on-site Seven Dials Café will be serving food and drinks all day.
There will also be some new additions to this year’s event, including a Craft Bus, Angel Heart Theatre and Elfic the comedy juggler.
A traditional apple press will be on the front lawn where demonstrators will be turning apples into juice and describing how to transform the juice into delicious homemade scrumpy. Visitors can also bring their own apples for pressing, for a small donation.
Marissa Wakefield, Director of Cockington Court who is leading the event, said: ‘‘Apple Day is one of our most popular events and we’ve worked hard to make this year better than ever. There will be lots of free entertainment and activities as well as dozens of stalls for people to explore. It’s a fantastic day out for the whole family and a wonderful way to celebrate autumn. We hope lots of people will come along and enjoy everything on offer.’’
Parking at Cockington Court is limited so visitors are encouraged to carshare or travel to the event via the Apple Day shuttle bus. The bus is free and will run regularly between the Strand in Torquay and Cockington Court from 11am to 4pm.
For those travelling by car, pay and display parking is available on site but please bring cash with you for the parking machines.
Visitors are also encouraged to take part in the ‘Taste Off’ baking competition. All apple-inspired baking is welcome including cakes, jams and tray bakes. Participants should bring along their baked creations to the Sea Change Studios behind the Manor House at 11am for judging.
Alongside Apple Day activities, resident Cockington Court makers will be showcasing their creative skills in their studios, providing visitors with the opportunity to learn about their craft and purchase their creations.
Visitors can also explore the free, pirate and deep sea-themed Sculpture Trail which runs until 3 November. The trail features over 30 different sculptures located around the Manor House and grounds.
