🍎✨ A Day at Aspall Vinegar! ✨🍎

Today, some of our team were treated to a fascinating tour of @aspallvinegar ! We explored the historic cyder house, complete with the original mill (all the way from the Normandy coast!) and the beautiful apple press, lovingly crafted in 1729.

A huge thank you to George, National Account Manager, for walking us through the entire apple cider vinegar-making process and sharing insights into the booming vinegar market. We were also incredibly lucky to receive a generous batch of their delicious Apple Cider Vinegar, kindly gifted to our Learning team to use in our educational programmes! 🍎📚

It’s always great to work with local food suppliers and producers who share our passion for tradition and quality!

🍏 Join Us for Apple Week! 🍏

Over the October half-term (26 Oct - 3 Nov), we’ll be celebrating Apple Week with family-friendly activities like apple pressing, juice making, baking workshops, and more!

Today in 1995 the Great Moulton Chapel was officially opened on our site, preserving a piece of local heritage ⛪

The building is a great example of a 'tin tabernacle' - a flat-packed structure that could be used for many different reasons, from schools to halls to chapels like this one.

Seen as an easy and cheaper solution than bricks and mortar, they would be delivered directly off the railway lines 🚂

Our Chapel is still in use as a wedding venue today and can be hired out for events 👰
