Volunteer opportunity: Juicing at Stanmer Saturday 14th September 2024

Saturday 14th September Juicing at Stanmer 11am - 4pm

Join Robbi and help juice fruit we've either picked or collected around Brighton/Sussex. This fruit would have gone to waste but with your help it will be turned it into delicious 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. No experience is necessary, and new volunteers very welcome.

Please register for this task, so we know who is coming and only register if you are sure you can come.

IMPORTANT: Please do not register to take part if you are ill or have had any sickness or diarrhoea in the previous 14 days.

Important: This session is not suitable for small children or people with a wasp allergy.

Your host

Robbi Smoot

When you register you will receive an email which will give you his contact phone number in case you need to call him on the day.

Practical stuff

Please bring whatever food and drink you need to sustain you for the day (please note there is a cafe opposite the Fruit Factory). There are also tea/coffee making facilities in the Fruit Factory. Please dress for outdoor/rough work, tough shoes, suitable clothes etc. Please bring work gloves if you have any, and also a pair of marigolds if you have some. Hands tend to get cold washing apples, so having a pair of rubber gloves with something underneath if possible will really help.

We are working outdoors so dress as weather conditions dictate.

There are toilets adjacent to the Fruit Factory and also toilets at One Garden nearby. Please do not urinate in the Stanmer orchards.

Please note that for all the activities all children under the age of 18 and people with support needs must be accompanied by a parent/carer who is responsible for their supervision, safety and any medication needed.

Directions

We will meet at the Fruit Factory which is in Stanmer village almost opposite the cafe. See 2nd map down via this link:

Directions

If you get lost, please call Robbi.

Please check emails night before in case we have to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances/poor weather.
