Description
Come and join us on Saturday 15th February at the Cidery Orchard for a pruning course lead by Bignose Phil.
On this half day course (1000-1400) you will be part of a small group getting hands on with the trees in our orchard.
You will learn:
- Why we prune our trees for health and productivity
- How to use different tools and techniques
- Different approaches for spur and tip fruiting varieties
- How to plan your pruning for each tree
- How to manage sequential pruning over several years
You'll practice the techniques on our trees under Phil's watchful eye so you are confident to work on your own trees when you go home.
Lunch and a cider tasting are included. Let us know any dietary needs.
Dress for the weather, we can supply gloves and tools and you are welcome to bring your own.
This event is at the The Cidery, Upper Brookhouse, Brookhouse Lane, Framfield TN22 5QJ

Event Refund Information
We will issue a refund for event tickets on request up to 72 hours before an event. After that it is hard for us to resell a ticket and we may already have incurred expenses on your behalf.
Refunds will be for the full amount minus the ticketing fee we will have paid for each ticket (£1 per ticket) and a £5 admin fee.
Ideally we'd prefer to reschedule your ticket to another date or event where an equivalent is available, there is no fee for this.
