Did any of you who joined us for our Apple Day get a look at our Millennium Apple Press in action?

Although we had fewer apples compared to last year, we certainly had enough to get a few presses done during the day, including some with the public too!

Nothing better than freshly pressed apple juice 🍎🍏

We are still looking back at the Apple Day two weeks ago - who had a chance to visit the c***r bar and have a taste of the homemade c***r from the previous years press?

It certainly was a huge hit this year - and we are already starting the process of making the c***r using the apples from the press we did at our Apple Day two weeks ago!

Watch this space - our c***r bar will be making an earlier return next year in the summer too.

Join us for an exclusive mushroom walk at historical Abbey Manor in Buildwas, Shropshire! Not far from Ironbridge, Telford and Shrewsbury!

Medicinal properties in traditional use:
A clear overview of selected mushrooms and their practical uses, based on species likely to appear this season.

Dual‑extraction basics:
A simple, step‑by‑step explanation of how to make your own mushroom elixirs at home, including why dual extraction matter.

What you will gain:
You learn skills you can use immediately
You get reliable information, not myths or hype
You gain confidence identifying mushrooms safely
You get access to private woodlands with historical context

On behalf of all of us here at Abbey Manor, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came and supported our Apple Day yesterday.

Thank you to all the volunteers who help make this day possible. Thank you to all the stall holders, food vendors, and entertainment for making this such a fun day out for all. And lastly, we want to say thank you to those who bought a ticket to our raffle to raise money for the Severn Hospice.

Also a special thank you to English Heritage for helping with providing free parking at Buildwas Abbey. And another special thank you to Hafodunas Hall for their donation of apples for our Apple Day

I am so proud to announce we have raised £360 for the Severn Hospice in memory of the co-founder of our Apple Day - Christothea Constandinou Williams.

We are so proud of this event and can't wait to host it again.

See you next year for Abbey Manor Apple Day 2027 - Sunday 26th September 🍎❤️
