CROWDS flocked to Stroud Farmers’ Market for the town’s apple day celebrations.
The popular event included juicing in the street and an exhibition of different varieties of locally grown apples on Saturday.
The Day’s Cottage team displayed around 100 Gloucestershire apple varieties including over 50 from their museum orchard.
Many rare apple varieties were on sale, including Gloucestershire’s best-known, Ashmead’s Kernel, which originated in Gloucester in 1700.
The juicing took place in Union Street, where tasters of freshly squeezed juice were available for everyone to try.
Shoppers could also bring a bag of apples and a bottle, watch as they were put through the juicer and then take their own juice home with them.
The Frocester Fayre stall joined in by featuring some special apple-based products such as pork and apple sausages, apple pork pies, apple and sage scotch eggs and pork and apple burgers.
