Trelissick Apple Weekend
October 4, 2019 @ 10:00 am - October 6, 2019 @ 5:00 pm
There are pressing matters to attend to at Trelissick over Apple Weekend. In fact, there’s so much to squeeze in that an extra day is required. From Friday 4 to Sunday 6 October join us for a celebration of this seasonal harvest.
Over the three days there’s something for everyone to get stuck into. Friday is our dedicated specialist day where we will be hosting a number of experts who will impart their knowledge to you. Families will enjoy the activities taking place on Saturday and Sunday. Have a go at pressing apples the old fashioned way or learn how bees make their honey with help from orchards.
