This year’s Apple Fayre in Tring has been hailed a success with huge crowds attending.
The parade, which took place on Saturday, October 12, is the centrepiece of the Apple Fayre which is a month-long celebration of food, environment and culture
It kicked off with an Apple Day on Sunday, October 6, with a range of activities including expert apple identification, crafts, apple pressing, cider sampling, displays and games.
A farmers market then took place the following weekend along with a parade which ran along Tring High Street to the Old Market Place.
The free event attracted hundreds of spectators with plenty of dancing, a parade of scarecrows, Morris dancers and much more.
Tring resident Alice Fitzgerald told TRINGnews: “I loved this year’s event; it had such great energy and was really entertaining.
“The Apple Fayre showcases what is great about Tring. Everyone involved in making it happen should be proud.”
Many local organisations and groups were represented at the parade including the Dunsley Farm Shop, who described it as a “fantastic day”, and Tring Justice & Peace Group who were joined by pupils from Bishop Wood C of E Junior School calling for local councils to ‘say no to pesticides’. They presented the petition to Mayor of Tring councillor Brian Patterson, calling on local councils to go pesticide-free.
The fayre concluded with two events at the Natural History Museum at Tring on Friday, November 1, with an apple pressing demonstration and a torchlight event where visitors explored the museum in the dark.
