Every autumn the orchards at Killerton National Trust estate, near Exeter, become a hive of activity with staff, volunteers and the local community helping to harvest tonnes of apples for pressing into Killerton’s award-winning cider and apple juice.
On Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 October, months of cider-making on the Killerton estate culminates in a weekend celebration. This is Killerton’s annual family festival to mark National Apple Day. The orchard is festooned with bunting and stalls are scattered between the apple trees selling local food, drink, crafts and plants.
