Apple Tasting Day

THE NEXT APPLE TASTING DAY WILL TAKE PLACE ON Sunday 11th October 2026 from 10.00-16.30hrs.

Blackmoor Estate’s famous Apple Tasting Day has been running for over 50 years.

54th Annual Apple Tasting Day at Blackmoor Estate

Blackmoor Estate, Hampshire GU33 6BS – 12th October 2025

We were thrilled to welcome thousands of visitors to Blackmoor Estate on Sunday for the 54th annual Apple Tasting Day — a much-anticipated celebration of apples, autumn, and community.

This year’s event once again brought together families, food & craft lovers and, of course, apple enthusiasts from across the region for a truly memorable day out. With the weather on our side, the estate was filled with activity, colour, and the unmistakable scent of freshly picked apples.

At the heart of the day was everything apple-related:

Apple tasting from a wide variety of traditional and heritage varieties

Apple identification with our expert team helping visitors name mystery apples from their gardens

Fresh Apple and Pear Sales with plenty of opportunity to take home your favourites

Cider & Juice Bar Blackmoor Orchards enjoyed on site and then purchased to take home

Visitors enjoyed a bustling craft fair, a tempting selection of food and drink stalls, lively Morris dancing, and a fun-filled children’s area — making it a true family day out.

As always, the event was held in support of local charities, continuing our longstanding tradition of giving back to the community.
