Saturday 14th October offered an unscheduled visit to the Wrenbury Apple Festival - a wonderful rural event in a charming village. A local (amateur!) grower gave cooking and juicing demonstrations and the renowned Eddisbury Fruit Farms had a large display of different varieties all available for tasting and purchase. The village green had stalls set out for children with face painting and apple-bobbing (removing floating apples using only teeth) and the church had a display by local artists.
We then visited the amazing Bhurtpore Inn, managing to overcome distaste for its provenance (Viscount Combermere built this and the now-departed Salamanca Inn to celebrate hsi victories in India and Spain) to admire the wonderful menu and taste the magnificent selection of well-kept ales.
A charming day.
