THE EXPERIENCE

Quieter weekday sessions for families

Blossom Weekdays are timed for lower footfall than weekend openings, giving families more room and time to explore the orchard in a relaxed setting—designed especially for school-holiday family visits.

THE PACE

Space to wander, photograph and taste

With fewer crowds than weekends, there’s more space to wander the rows, capture memorable photos and sample seasonal varieties straight from the trees.

THE SETTING

Open lawns, autumn fruit and simple family fun

The orchard’s open lawns and picnic areas make it an easy place to extend a morning or afternoon outdoors, enjoying fresh autumn fruit and the quiet of the trees in bloom.

How the visit unfolds

A Blossom Weekdays session is intentionally unhurried: arrive, check in at the main visitor entry, then move into the designated picking rows to select and taste seasonal apple varieties straight from the trees. After picking, fruit is weighed and paid for, and families are welcome to stay on the lawns and picnic as the autumn light shifts through the orchard.
