Juicing the harvest

There are 165 varieties of apple grown at Acorn Bank, some dating back centuries. During these sessions, we'll juice what's ripe for you to have a free taste. You can watch the process * and then try the result. Every batch is different and often with surprising flavours. The Acorn Bank garden team will be on hand for you to have a chat with. * Juicing will take about 10 minutes at the start of the session, so if you want to see the pressing, be sure to be there on the dot! After that there will be samples available to taste for 20 minutes or so.
