Friends of Ham Lands Apple Walk
Sunday 24 August 2-4pm

FOHL Apple Walk 2025

Enjoy the wonder and beauty of Ham Lands local nature reserve. There are many different apple trees in fruit at the moment, particularly on Ham Lands south. We will walk, pick and taste as many different types as we can. Hopefully, there will also be some pears. Children are very welcome to join us. If the page says sold out, come along but email friendsofhamlands@hamunitedgroup.org.uk to give us an idea of numbers.

The event is free. But donations help us support the precious Ham Lands biodiversity and our activities connecting the local community with nature.
