How big is your Bramley?

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away you’ll avoid medical experts for a lifetime if you visit Kingston Maurward College, on October 24.

The campus is hosting its popular Apple and Harvest Day where members of the public bring along their unknown varieties of the fruit to be analysed by the Royal Horticultural Society.

This year also boasts a competition to discover the heaviest Bramley Apple brought in by visitors - to mark the 200th anniversary of this traditional variety.

A Farmer’s Market and children’s activities including pot painting and candle making are also being organised, alongside a harvest sale of fruit and vegetables grown by horticultural students at the campus.

The Dorchester Community Choir and the Bagatelle Choir are due to perform seasonal songs.

The event, which is being held as part of National Apple Day, will run from 10am to 4pm.
