Bramley: Community Apple Juicing Day

St Peter’s Church on Hough Lane in Bramley has been awarded funding from the Coronation Orchard scheme, through Leeds City Council, to plant an orchard in a section of the church yard.

And members of the community are celebrating with a community apple juicing day.

The people of Bramley are warmly welcomed to The Great Bramley Apple Day on Sunday 13th October from 12pm-2pm outside St Peter’s Church to make apple juice using a traditional apple scratter and press.

Alongside the juicing there will be apple-related crafts and games and people will have a chance to see the plans for the orchard and have their say.

The scheme, which is funded by the Coronation Living Heritage Fund, will see thousands of trees planted to mark the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, celebrating His Majesty’s passion for the environment.

The orchard is for the Bramley community, you don’t have to be a churchgoer to get involved. We’ll need lots of volunteers to help plant, water and prune the trees, so if you are interested in learning about fruit trees and helping with the community orchard, please come along.
