‘HOW TO’ AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS

There will be no charge for crushing your apples, but the adult £5 entrance fee will apply.

If you are bringing apples from your garden or local orchards for crushing, please note these essential instructions and terms and conditions:

You must bring your own sterilised containers for the apple juice (health and safety requirement). They can be glass bottles, but also plastic bottles re-used. They will definitely need to be properly sterilised if you want the juice to last (have a look on the internet re. method - but it is simple). Glass bottles (in fridge) may be OK to last for about 3 days. You can freeze plastic containers of the juice up to 3 months. Sterilising is absolutely your responsibility.

Apples must be delivered/brought washed and in clean bags (12kg maximum per family which will make about 4 litres of apple juice). We are able to start cutting the apples and crushing them with you from 11am (before the gates open to the public at 12 and after that).

You can deliver them to the top of our car park (labelled and weighed) to drop off from 11am, but you must take your car off-site and park in village car park before returning for the fun. As a guide, 3 kilos of apples will make about 1 litre of juice. Your apples will be crushed with others as a necessary part of the general process. No less delicious though!

They really must be washed prior to bringing. If you would like the variety separately to be identified by our experts, please save a couple and bring with a bit of branch and a leaf or two and go see them in the village hall after 12.

Hope you enjoy the day!

DOWNHAM HALL CHARITY OPEN GARDENS

TICKETS £8. Under 5’s free. Free Parking.

Downham Hall’s annual charity Open Garden invites visitors to explore the Rose,

gardens with Pendle Hill as their stunning backdrop. The day also features Morris
Dancing, performances by local brass bands and other musicians, plant and craft
stalls, Prosecco stand, beer stall, burgers and grills, traditional afternoon teas, floral
demonstrations, a raffle with some great prizes and the ever-popular ‘Human Fruit
Machine’.

All profits go to Downham Village Hall and the Clitheroe, Chatburn and Downham
Benefice (Churches of St Paul and St Mary Magdalene, Clitheroe; Christ Church Chatburn and St
Leonard Downham).

Time Banks usually operate on the principle of people offering services to each other and “banking” the time they have given, which they can then use to “buy” services from others. However, in Downham members decided that people should be able to use the Time Bank without having credit in the Time Bank or offering services themselves. Members also decided that we would include the names of the people offering the services on the list (with their permission).

So remember-you don’t need be a member or make any offers of services in order to use the Time Bank.
