Visitors will be able to have a go at pressing their own apples with the Wrington Forgotten Fruit community project.

The tour will finish with a cider-tasting and visit to the Thatchers shop, where a full range of ciders, cheeses and chutneys will be on offer.

There will be face-painting, dancing from the Mendip Morris Men and music from The Fallen Apples and The Somerset Paddies. Refreshments will be available from a barbecue and ice cream van.

The event will take place on September 14 from 11am-3pm on Myrtle Farm in Sandford, and entry will be free.
