Live music, cake, cider and lots of apples, what else do you need to enjoy a Sunday? Apple Day Celebration was as successful as we expected. Guests, volunteers and staff enjoyed the activities and the sunny Walled Garden was full of stalls with lots of unique products.
A wide selection of apples from Fulham Palace garden were displayed and ready to be taken home. Some of these apples became cider a few months ago and delicious dry and sweet cider bottles were available to try and buy. A display full of bees producing honey catched the attention of more than one kid trying to find the queen. And of course, tasty Fulham Palace honey, jam and chutney jars flied very quickly off the shelves. Everybody enjoy an amazing bodging demonstration and you had the option to purchase hand-made spoons and tools.
The music from the band Threepenny bit accompanied us through the afternoon making the environment even more festive. Little ones and also grown-ups could enjoyed fascinating storytelling sessions.
The baking competition made the afternoon even sweeter and the apple cakes were absolutely delicious. Congratulations to all the bakers!
The event was supported by Whole Foods they brought some healthy and organic products and snacks to sell on their stall.
Thank you very much to all the volunteers and staff who helped making Apple Day such a success.
