Apple Day

Activities for all ages, reflecting the rich heritage of the British harvest. Get stuck into a host of apple treats, try your hand at some traditional games, learn about endangered apple varieties or discover the art of cultivating orchards. A local theatre company (the Lions part) will delight the crowd with music, songs, dancing, games and tales as part of their October Plenty event. Other entertainment will include our famous apple peeling competition, and Morris dancing.

As is tradition, Borough Market's neighbour Southwark Cathedral will kick off the proceedings with a short act of harvest worship in the market, accompanied by the market's choir.

A collection will be made for the Robes Project, a local charity which provides winter night shelters for the homeless of south London.

Chef Angela Clutton will be in the demonstration kitchen between 12pm and 1.30pm and then 2pm-3.30pm cooking up a range of delicious apple themed dishes.
