A plant nursery's Apple Day event attracted more than 1,500 visitors.

The popular event, held at the Godmanchester Community Plant Nursery, featured a variety of activities for families to enjoy.

This included the chance to purchase several varieties of apples grown on-site in the 'heritage orchard' and the opportunity for children to press their own apple juice.

There were also artisan stalls, children's activities, and an animal petting area.

One of the most popular attractions was the pumpkin patch, where hundreds of pumpkins were available for visitors to pick in preparation for Hallowe'en.

Councillor Alan Hooker, Godmanchester town mayor, said: "Well done all concerned, the staff, the volunteers and management team Kelly Bibby, Katie Mayo headed by site manager Oscar Jeakins for making the event and indeed the venue such a success."

Mr Jeakins said: "Godmanchester Community Plant Nursery’s Apple Day was a fantastic success, with over 1,500 people attending the event.

"It was a wonderful day out for the whole family, filled with fun activities and excitement.

"Visitors enjoyed the wide variety of stalls, which offered something for everyone, from delicious local produce to handcrafted goods.

"The nursery is thrilled with the positive turnout and is grateful for the community’s support in making the day such a memorable experience.

"It truly showcased the spirit of togetherness and the love for nature and gardening within the community."

Godmanchester Town Council took over the Park Lane plant nursery from Huntingdonshire District Council four years ago and has since invested in what is now the 'Godmanchester Community Plant Nursery'.

The success of Apple Day is a reflection of the nursery's increasing popularity, with plant sales and public events steadily on the rise.

The next event organised by Godmanchester Town Council will be the Christmas Market and Lights switch-on, on Friday, December 6 at 5pm at the Town Hall, School Hill, Godmanchester.
