Archaeology at the Community Orchard
26th - 27th October & 16th - 17th November 202410 am - 3:30 pm
Working with South Oxfordshire Archaeology Group and following on from our success in finding evidence of the cottages, we plan to extend our test pits. This is an opportunity to help find out more about the people and history of the Donkey Lane Community Orchard site.
All volunteers will be guided through each stage so everyone can learn how an excavation is carried out.
Even if you don’t dig, there are other essential roles that can be done whilst sitting and/or in short bursts and without getting too dirty! Anyone can join in; children are most welcome (accompanied by a parent or guardian). You can join us for the whole weekend or just an hour or two. Old clothes and stout shoes recommended.
Numbers are limited so if you are interested in joining us, please email greeningchinnor@gmail.com.

Apple Pressing at the Orchard
Apple Pressing - Saturday 19th October 20242:00 pm - 4 :00 pm
CANCELLED
Unfortunately, this year's Apple Pressing is cancelled. Hope to be back next year.
What do you need? Save all your good apples, not the ones with bruises and maggots, along with as many clean screw-top glass bottles as you can. We will make lovely apple juice from the apples (apples may need to be mixed for pressing).
Also, come along and see how the Orchard restoration is progressing and what we’ve found out about the cottages. Guided tours and refreshments available.
Entry is free and cash donations towards the restoration and maintenance of the Orchard are welcome.
To find us, head up Keen's Lane, Chinnor, OX39 4PF - cross the railway crossing - the Orchard’s directly on the right.
