Shipley Fields Apple Day 2024

Celebrate apple season with friends, family, and neighbours at Shipley Fields Community Orchard, next to Red Beck Allotment.  We will be making apple juice using a traditional scratter and apple press.

There will be reusable cups available to use but please bring your own if you can. You are also welcome to bring an empty bottle to fill with juice to take home, and any homegrown apples or pears you would like to press if you have them.

This is a family friendly event and people of all ages and abilities are welcome. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times to ensure the safety and hygiene of the event.

DIRECTIONS: Shipley Fields Community Orchard is located on the field behind Otley Road, opposite Shipley C of E Primary school, and adjacent to the Red Beck Allotments. It can also be accessed from the south end of the field via Norwood Avenue. The orchard is a 12 minute walk from Shipley train station.

ACCESSIBILITY: The paths on either side of the field are wheelchair accessible. The apple pressing will be taking place in the orchard in the middle of the field, which is on a slight incline and can get muddy. There are 2 benches in the orchard.
