Join Ben & Alfie and help juice fr uit we've either picked or collected around Bright on/Sussex. This fruit would have gone to waste but with your help it will be turned into delicious j uices 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 volunteers v ery 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 very physical activity\, with some heavy lifting (around 15kg) of crates and stretching\, as top o f equipment 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 i n the UK generally starts around April and finishe s around mid October. We therefore advise that any one with an allergy to wasp stings does not help o ut during this period.
\n \nUnfortunately\, due to the fast pace of these sessions and the si ze and nature of some of the equipment involved\, 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 contact us with any funding opportunities you think we could apply for.
\n \nPlease register for this task\, so we know who is coming and only reg ister if you are sure you can come.
