Apple Festival 2005
ECDC is holding its fifth Apple Festival on Saturday 15th October on Palace Green, Ely in celebration of the great British Apple.
The popular Apple Cafe, run by Sue Ryder, is back at the Cathedral Centre, where you can enjoy a variety of apple related refreshments. Further apple delights can be tasted at the Watergull Orchards marquee and there will also be a hog roast (with apple sauce, of course!). Our experts will once again be there to identity any apples that you care to bring along, but bring a long part of the stalk and/or leaf as well.
There will be several competitions and activities including the longest apple peeling competition, apple and spoon races, plant your own apple seed, and an apple shy. Information stalls, a woodturner and bee keeper demonstration and folk music and dancing all add to the fun of the day which runs from 10.30 am until 3.30 pm.
A Tree Dressing Workshop on Saturday 1st October at Ely Library. Working with local artist Ricki Otis, families are encouraged to call in anytime between 10.00 am and 3.00 pm to have a go at screen printing activities around the apple theme - all activities are free. The finished articles will then be displayed around Palace Green on the Apple Festival Day.
