RHS Garden Rosemoor is getting into the autumn mood in a big way with heritage apple harvest with a weekend of cookery demos, expert talks, live music and a fabulous food and craft market.
It’s a family weekend autumn food event – Festival of Flavours on Saturday, 5th and Sunday, 6th October.
The event has at its heart 40 local traders and craftspeople who will offer the chance to browse seasonal produce, deli treats and handmade gifts in the Garden Room before heading out to the gardens.
Food writer Mark Diacono will teach you how to make a botanical-themed cocktail using home-grown ingredients, Tineke Cooks will guide you through delicious seasonal recipes and Cornish Country Cordials will show the art of pasteurising.
You can admire the Devon Orchard apple displays, try a few varieties to decide which one you think tastes best and watch apple pressing demonstrations. You can take your own apples for the RHS experts to identify (bring at least two fruits from each tree).
Then relax with a drink made three miles away at Honeywood Orchard’s cider bar and enjoy delicious food as well as live music in the Stream Field.
There’s plenty for families to enjoy -tree climbing and forestry skills with The Kid’s Adventure Company, follow the painted pebble trail.
Garden admission applies – RHS members and children under 5 go free. All talks, tours and cookery demos are free with garden entry and are available on a first come, first served basis.
