Join us to celebrate the UK’s favourite cooking apple in its hometown of Southwell on 24th October 2015.
Visit the Bramley Apple Festival in the picturesque town of Southwell in the District of Newark and Sherwood.
The world-famous cooking apple originated from Southwell from a tree in a garden now known as Bramley Tree House at Church Street, Southwell. It originated from a planting by Mary Ann Brailsford circa 1809-1813. Sometime before Mary Ann’s first marriage in 1813, she planted the pips, core or apple, which later grew into the tree bearing the original Bramley Seedling.
The annual festival has Bramley related activities and events for all the family to enjoy. It attracts hundreds of visitors from all over the county and beyond.
