National Apple Day is an annual event which has been held in October for over twenty years - promoting the variety of apples grown in orchards across the UK. Celebratory events can vary from apple games in the garden to a weekend event full of cookery demonstrations, apple pressing and tastings. Apple Day was initiated by the charity, Common Ground, to commemorate the diversity of locally grown food.
