Apple Day at Borough Market

Celebrate the fruits of autumn with Apple Day at Borough Market. Bringing all kinds of delicious apple based goodies to their stalls, market sellers will be treating you to all kinds of apple based delights throughout the day.

It's not just apples that will be on sale during Apple Day at Borough Market. All kinds of autumn produce will abound, with fantastic meats, cheeses and breads waiting to tempt you. Mountains of cakes and pies, along with sweet apple produce such as Calvados and apple juice will be up for sale too.

Bringing the taste of autumn into the heart of London, Apple Day at Borough Market is also set to be a day of autumnal festivity as live music and street performers entertain the crowds during the day. Celebrating apples and the arrival of the next season, Apple Day gives you a chance to experience the delights of the harvest and the nostalgia of the changes in season.

And there it's not just the delights of Apple Day at Borough Market that will be tempting you on the day. Southwark Cathedral is holding its own celebrations with special displays of seasonal produce and fruit. Created by the stallholders of Borough Market and the Flowers Guild from the Cathedral, the building will be decorated with apples and the other fruits of the autumn in a sumptuous harvest style exhibition.

After the Eucharist in the church, you can bring the kids for a session of fun with apples, as the Ministry of Fun invites you for some old fashioned apple bobbing. The Refectory restaurant is also in on the act with a bespoke appley menu for the day, so you can tuck into even more apple themed dishes there too.

Concluding the traditional fun on the day will be performances from the theatre company The Lion's Part, who will be leading a procession from Shakespeare's Globe theatre to Apple Day at Borough Market. Mixing the ancient customs of the October Plenty harvest celebration with their own contemporary theatrics, the procession will be followed by games and entertainment for all at the market place itself. The games take place from 12.30pm, and the performance at Borough Market is from 1.30pm.

Apple Day at Borough Market takes place on Sunday 26th October 2008 from 11am onwards. Please note that the clocks go back on Sunday morning at 1am.
