Families from across the district gathered at the venue's apple day in Wrington on Saturday.
Villagers brought along ripe fruit to throw into a juice press and apple-themed activities entertained families on the day.
Visitors could have their spare fruit pressed into juice, bottled and pasteurised.
Revellers could also enjoy a pint of draught or mulled cider at the gathering, where people could also experience the process of making the beverage.
