It’s apple harvest time at Athelhampton! We expect to gather at least 3 tonnes of apples this season, from the apple trees spread around our historic gardens. These will all be pressed by Bessie, our trusty hydraulic press.

Once pressed the juice will be pasteurised, bottled on site, and served in our restaurant next year — truly orchard to table.
