Join Ben & Nick and help juice fruit we've either picked or collected around Brighton/ Sussex. This fruit would have gone to waste but wi th your help it will be turned into delicious juic es and ciders. Learn hands on about small scale ju ice and cider production\, some of which we'll sel l on the day to the passing public.
\n \nNo experience is necessary\, and new volunteers 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 this is a v ery physical activity\, with some heavy lifting (a round 15kg) of crates and stretching\, as top of e quipment is 1.6m.
\n \nIMPORTANT: Please do not register to take part if you are ill or have had any sickness or diarrhoea in the previous 14 days.
\n \nWasp season in t he UK generally starts around April and finishes a round mid October. We therefore advise that anyone with an allergy to wasp stings does not help out during this period.
\n \nUnfortunately\, du e to the fast pace of these sessions and the size and nature of some of the equipment involved\, thi s session is not suitable for under 16’s. We're ke en to buy more suitable equipment to run family-fr iendly juicing sessions - so please contact us wit h any funding opportunities you think we could app ly for.
\n \nPlease register for th is task\, so we know who is coming and only regist er if you are sure you can come.
