Join Robbi Ben and Alfie and help ju ice fruit we've either picked or collected around Brighton/Sussex. This fruit would have gone to was te but with your help it will be turned into delic ious juices and ciders. Learn hands on about small scale juice and cider production\, some of which we'll sell on the day to the passing public.
\n \nNo experience is necessary\, and new volunt eers very welcome. Our juicing sessions are fun\, messy and fast paced\, as we need to make sure the fruit is pressed before it spoils. Please note th is is a very physical activity\, with some heavy l ifting (around 15kg) of crates and stretching\, as top of equipment is 1.6m.
\n \nIMP ORTANT: Please do not register to take pa rt if you are ill or have had any sickness or diar rhoea in the previous 14 days.
\n \nWasp se ason in the UK generally starts around April and f inishes around mid October. We therefore advise th at anyone with an allergy to wasp stings does not help out during this period.
\n \nUnfortuna tely\, due to the fast pace of these sessions and the size and nature of some of the equipment invol ved\, this session is not suitable for under 16’s. We're keen to buy more suitable equipment to run family-friendly juicing sessions - so please conta ct us with any funding opportunities you think we could apply for.
\n \nPlease regist er for this task\, so we know who is coming and on ly register if you are sure you can come.
