Ampleforth Apple Festival
Come and celebrate the apple harvest at the Ampleforth Abbey Apple Festival.
Location: Alban Roe House Visitor Centre
Ampleforth Abbey is home to the largest commercial apple orchard in the north of England, established by Fr Edmund Hatton in the 1940’s. We grow over 70 varieties of heritage apples, many of which will never be seen on supermarket shelves – Beauty of Bath, Ribston Pippin and Irish Peach.
Come and join in the fun with our celebration of the wonderful apple, including demonstrations of traditional apple pressing (Tues & Thurs), craft activities, tasty treats in the Tea Room, an Autumn trail in the beautiful Abbey grounds, or enter the awesome Apple Olympics!
Apple pressing demonstrations at Alban Roe House Visitor Centre:
