April 27th is National Blossom Day.
Dowding’s orchards will be open on 27th and 28th April to welcome visitors, between 10a.m. and 8p.m.
You will be welcome whatever the weather.
You can wander among 15 acres of trees (of varying ages from 1 to 30 years old).
There will be hot food created by Bruecurries. Or bring your own picnic. There will be covered space if there is wet weather.
Our friends from Pitcombe Rock Falconry will join us for part of each day with some birds of prey. Weather permitting.
‘ARTinthe’ will be introducing their outdoor art classes for 2024, which will include “Changing seasons in Dowding’s orchards”.
