Apple Pressing at Hardy's Cottage
Thursday, 30th October, 11am to 2pm
 
Celebrate autumn with the harvest of Dorset's favourite fruit from Hardy's orchard.

Apple pieces are first milled into a pulp and then crushed in a small press to release delicious fruit juice.

Apple pressing will be taking place in the woodshed between 11am-2pm.

Normal admission charges apply. Booking is not required to see the apple pressing, but if you want to visit inside the cottage, a ticket must be booked in advance via the National Trust website or by phoning 0344 249 1895.
