The Diary of a Community Orchard - the Orchard's blog posts are now available for viewing on our main website (visible through the "Blog" menu option at the top curiously enough) This is a more intimate view of what's happening in the Orchard, rather than merely event & project announcements / write-ups. Do take a quick peek here: https://pleasleycommunityorchard.wordpress.com/category/blog/

May Bank Holiday Celebrations 7th May, 4pm - 7pm In the Orchard (or if wet, in St Barnabas' on Bagshaw Street) Bring a picnic rug and / or chairs, and enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of our community family BBQ down at the Orchard, with maypole dancing (some of the local schoolchildren will be showing off their skills, and you can learn a dance or two yourself!). There'll be garden games, cider, lager and soft drinks available too. We need local volunteers too! If you'd like to volunteer to help out, either serving or stewarding, please do get in touch with Matt 07704 108415 / matt@mattarnold.co.uk. Come along and have some fun, whatever the weather.

A whole host of toast! Preparations are well under way for tonight's wassailing! Join us at 5pm as we bless the orchard and warm ourselves with the fire, mulled cider and good company. #pleasley #orchard #wassail #blessing #fire #cider #friends

Wassail! Come and join us tomorrow evening at 5pm in our wassail gathering to bless the orchard. Warm yourself round the fire, share the wassail cup, make a loud noise to scare off anything Unseen that would stop the fruitfulness of our orchard, cover your ears against the volley of shotguns that make sure we're really heard! We have our own wassail song, written and led by Eric and his ukelele. And we'd like you to join in! You'll know the tune - On Ilkley Moor Baht 'At - if you play either uke or guitar, bring it along (chords are C G G7 F Dm) and if not, sing along! All ages are welcome - if your little ones find the open space of the orchard more enticing than the group, that's fine! We have a scavenger hunt sheet and a quiz sheet if they want something to entertain them while they explore. Afterwards, stay around for refreshments,including our own cider, started at our Apple Day back in October and bottled last week by our intrepid and daring taste testers - as far as we know they're still here! Chat round the fire to old friends, introduce yourself to new ones. We're very much looking forward to seeing you there!

#Didyouknow that hollowed out #pumpkins are great #food for all sorts of #wildlife, once you've finished with them? Remove the lid and leave them in your #garden and in no time #bugs will be crawling all over them,#birds will be pecking away at them. and if you're really lucky you might even see a #squirrel sat inside one, nibbling away! We've put some of ours in the #orchard - let us know what wildlife you see on them! Use the hashtag #pumpkinfeeders.

#Autumn is definitely in the air in the #orchard!
