Eat, press, pick and bob for apples at this festival of England’s favourite fruit at stately home Audley End House, near Saffron Walden.
See how the Victorians would have cooked them in the service wing, watch falconers deal with pests in the field and unleash the kids on a range of games in the garden.
There are over 150 varieties of apple at Audley End alone – that’s quite enough to get your chops round this autumn, we feel.
Takes place 26-27 September, 11am-5pm, free to English Heritage members (normal admission applies otherwise).
