Hill Close Gardens have over 60 varieties of heritage apples growing in the different gardens, and many of these will be on display in the large glasshouse.

There is a chance to taste some of the varieties as well as purchase some more unusual varieties not seen in the supermarket.

A range of craft stalls and local food producers will also be attending, alongside bee keepers, wood carvers, spinners as well as tree and plant sales.

Stalls selling cider will also be attending the event.

There will also be music from Kenilworth folk band Romany Pie.
