Volunteers are invited to participate in this annual festivity staged at The Elms, the headquarters of the National Trust for Jersey. There are a number of tasks, some seated and aided with a cup of tea and a Jersey Wonder, others more energetic, in the middle of the night with a glass of wine to pass the hours – a wonderful way of getting together, having a chat with old and new friends and contributing to this piece of Jersey history. All of your efforts will also raise money for the Trust.
This year the event is being sponsored by the lovely people at Apex Group (Jersey), who have not only provided funding to stage the event but will be picking apples and generally getting involved in all areas of the festival.
Everyone is welcome and invited to peel apples, watch the mixture being stirred all through the night, get involved in jarring up and then enjoy homemade food and live music on market day when the Black Butter goes on sale.
Friday 4 October 10am until 10pm.
The wood fire will be lit first thing in the Bakehouse, peeling continues, and the peeled apples are cooked in the large copper bachîn over the fire and stirred until Saturday morning. Come along to peel and stir and enjoy a community supper and some live music in the evening in the marquee on the front lawn of the Elms Main House. No need to-pre book.
Parking is available at The Elms
