Celebrate this month’s National Apple Day with a visit to Ely’s Apple Festival, a day-long celebration of the fruit, which has been running for nearly 20 years.

You can also bring along your own apples to get identified by experts from East of England Apples and Orchard Project, and join in with non-appley fun such as morris dancing and storytelling sessions. Naturally, there’ll be plenty of tasty apple-based food and drink to try, too, from pork and apple sausages to cider and apple tea. visitely.org.uk ELY’S APPLE FESTIVAL
