APPLES will be the star attraction at a Torquay stately home next month, when Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust will press four tonnes of the fruit.
Cockington Court’s 17th annual Apple Day will take place on Sunday, October 18.
The highlight of the day is the apple pressing on Cockington’s Victorian press.
A team of volunteers will pick apples from Churston Orchard near Brixham before pressing them on the day.
Rachel Tapper, who is organising the event, said: “Demand for the pressed apple juice just grows and grows. We squeeze as many pressings as we can into the festival and the juice disappears faster each year.
“Many come along to watch the pressings and collect the fresh juice to take home and ferment into home-brewed cider.”
Local food and crafts producers will also be at the festival, and entertainment will be on offer throughout the day.
The festival runs from 10am to 4pm. Entry is Pounds 3.50 for adults and free for children aged 15 and under. Two free park and ride buses will run from Occombe Farm every 20 minutes
