1st Saturday of the Month 10.30am - 1pm

We rely on the help of volunteers to make the Orchard a special place for everyone. If you would like to help out get in touch here. There is always plenty to do and it’s a great way to get some exercise in the fresh air. Tools, tea and cake provided…

Comments from volunteers…

‘We have carried out work a variety of work at the Orchard over the last couple of years, helping plant the trees, watering over the summer, clearing grass cuttings and even providing jam for fund-raising.

It is a lovely project to work on as it’s out in the open air and you see the results of your efforts quite quickly. And it’s a great bunch of volunteers to work with. The results do look impressive with healthy trees, a great play area, bees humming and a handsome yurt (everybody should have one!). The Orchard group has worked so hard to get it going and make it a success. It is a great community project, initiated, managed and worked on by the local community. It will last for a long time! We look forward to gathering fruit over the next few years.’
