We are excited to share that we will be participating in Cornwall Heritage Trust’s Awenek! The Great Cornish Heritage Festival this year.
Cornwall has a long and fascinating orchard heritage and it is increasingly recognised that traditional orchards are hugely valuable for biodiversity, with their mosaic of habitat from grassland to scrub, to hedgerow and free standing trees with large spacing. Traditional orchards have been given UK BAP protected status. Older orchards are still under threat from neglect and scrubbing out. We initiated the Cornwall Orchard Network to bring people together who are interested in protecting & celebrating orchards and sharing news, updates and knowledge with one another.
At AWENEK! the Great Cornish Heritage Festival, we will be operating the community apple press and making juice. Come and say Hello and get involved, see how the manual press works, taste some juice or bring your surplus apples.
There will be activities, demonstrations, delicious food options, and performances to suit everyone. Join us on Saturday 13th September at Enys Gardens, Penryn to celebrate Cornwall’s unique heritage and culture.
Online advance tickets are £5 for Cornwall Heritage Trust and Enys Gardens adult members and under 18s go free. Online advance tickets for adults who aren’t members are priced at £10.
