If you’re looking for family-friendly activities during the October half term in Kent, come along to Brogdale for a hands-on day in our heritage orchards.

Everyone loves apple juice and it’s something the whole family can enjoy, but have you ever thought about where it comes from and how it is made?

Well look no further than our lovely orchards of the National Fruit Collection and the Brogdale Collections Heritage Orchards this summer & autumn where we are giving children a unique opportunity to explore where our apples are growing and find out what happens to them.

Come along to Brogdale and walk through our orchards, where you will see more than 3,000 varieties of fruit trees including apples, cherries, pears and plums. Children can pick apples from our special heritage orchards before having a go at making freshly pressed juice – a great way to enjoy some family fun together this half term.

Come along and visit our heritage orchards and you can:

• Wander through the apple orchards tasting and picking lots of different apple varieties
• Join the group to prepare apples for juicing
• Work together pressing apples to make fresh apple juice
• Taste the delicious juice you have helped to produce
