Apple Day will be a day to remember at Kehelland this year on October 20.

In the run-up to the event, Kehelland Village School will make sure the event is truly flagged up' by creating special apple day bunting with Camborne Community Craftroom manager Hazel McGregor. "it is this sort of activity that ensures that days like apple day are real community events," says Acting Head of Kehelland, Geoff Smith. The flags will be brought down to adorn the centre site in time for the celebrations.

This year will be like no other apple day as the centre is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

"We are really proud to be celebrating 25 years of Kehelland Horticultural Centre and excited about what will prove to be a real community event, celebrating local apples, produce and skills" says Centre Manager Colin Williamson.

"To us, these celebrations are about 25 years of supporting adults with learning and/ or physical disabilities and many of our trainees have successfully moved on into horticultural employment opportunities.

"All who use Kehelland gain valuable occupation and social skills and pride themselves on all the things they help to grow and achieve. To me, nothing can replicate what this centre provides for people and I really hope visitors will take this opportunity to see the activities here whilst enjoying a good day out. There will be lots of really top quality local produce to sample and purchase."

Cornwall Wildlife Trust will be on hand to entertain the children as well, with lots of different apple antics and there will be face painting with Roobarb Faces.

Although the displays, workshops and activities will draw to a close at 5pm, the day will not stop there. As evening arrives the apple juice will turn to cider with the opening of the licensed bar and Poggles Wood' will be calling everyone up onto the dance floor for jigs and reels. The barbecue and salad bar will continue through into the evening.

Guests are invited to get on their dancing shoes on to join the Celidh at 6pm. This will be followed by a grand firework finale and local band The Direct Influence (TDI) who will keep people dancing through to the end.
