Beetham Nurseries is set to host its popular Apple Weekend on October 9 and 10.

The two-day event promises a jam-packed weekend full of free family activities, fruit trees-including more than 40 varieties of apple trees- and food.

Activities across the weekend will include a family treasure hunt around the garden centre- inviting visitors to explore all corners in order to find letters to create the magic word- as well as a children's art competition running to the end of October, with a very special prize for the winner.

For those wishing to add a fruit tree to their outdoor space, an exclusive discount will be available all weekend for customers to enjoy, as well as the chance to win an apple scrumptious tree.

And the knowledgeable team at Beetham will be on hand throughout the event to advise on the perfect plant for your space and how to take care of it, as well as apple expert Andy Gilchrist who will return on October 10 to assist customers.

Manging director of Beetham Nurseries, Stephen Abbit, said: ‘“It has been another unprecedented year for everyone and whilst we are all still adapting to life with coronavirus still being present, we are delighted to announce that one of our most popular events Apple Weekend will go ahead again for 2021.

“We look forward to welcoming customers to what is sure to be a fantastic event safely.”
