Apple Day

Come down to Borough Market on Sunday 26th October to celebrate its annual Apple Day. The biggest ever collection of the nation’s favourite fruit is being brought together in the exhibition of 1000 oldest, rarest and most loved British apple varieties.

Apple Day is set for an exciting make-over this year as the 1000 year old market transforms its traditional apple display into a shiny, white modern setting–creating the first ‘real’ apple store.

The festival will see growers, traders and producers come together to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for the much-loved fruit from seed to marketplace to plate. A selection of limited edition apple-inspired produce and hot food will be available from traders including apple balsamic vinegar, apple tarts, brioches and loaves, crab apple preserves, apple cider chocolate truffles and chocolate coated toffee apples.

A packed event schedule will feature traditional games and entertainment such as Borough’s famous apple peeling competition, apple bobbing, Morris dancing and a performance by local theatre company, the Lions Part. Chef and food writer Lesley Holdship will also be creating apple inspired recipes in the demonstration kitchen, and will be on hand to answer any baking-related questions.
