Peel Away the Autumnal Blues at Ely’s Apple and Harvest Fayre

Visit Ely are thrilled to announce that the beloved “Apple Day” is returning for the 22nd year in 2022.

October 8th will see many stalls including Street food, cider, hand crafted delights, apple crumbles, pies and more!

Taking place on the iconic Palace Green from 10am, this free festival of fun and flavours celebrates the long and rich history of the orchards and harvest in Ely and surrounding areas.  

With activities including the much loved and fiercely competitive “Longest Apple Peel” competition, the riotously funny Apple and Spoon race and so much more, this is a truly family friendly event.

To make is even more fun this year, we have special guest appearances from the cast of ‘Cinderella’ the much loved KD Theatre Panto that kicks off 9th December 2022 – and to tempt you into booking your tickets!

Once again the day is made possible by the sponsorship of Watergull Orchards, who have supported the Apple Day in Ely for many years, providing prizes and much more to make sure the event continues to bear fruit.

Anna Bennett, Manager of Visit Ely said of this year’s event “We were thrilled to see the huge reaction the event received last year, making it extra special as we co-ordinate the event with Ely Cathedral’s Harvest Festival, so we can’t wait to see what 2022 brings. This is truly one of our favourite events of the year.
