An excellent event - thanks to all the participants and volunteers (and the weather!).

Thank you for your kind comments.

If there is anything you think could be improved or something that you didn't like please do let us know. We can only improve it if we know what works and what doesn't.

If you don't wanted it published, just say so in the comment.

How about an evening event.....barn dance?? (Not worried if you publish this or not...)

We did try an evening event 2 years ago, but we sold very few tickets.

Got the feeling that if the event had been free, there would have been a better take up, but we had to pay for the band and the security, so couldn't make that work.

The events team are a little jaded after the 12+ hour day (we are getting on a bit)but would be very happy if a new team could run an evening event and "re-use" the marquee.

Can't say I was put off by the admission charge - I didn't know there was one till I got there! But it was reality rather "nominal" so can't think it deterred too many people.

Sorry for confusion. Meant charge for evening event in 2009.

Some people do object to the gate charge for Applefest but we have to raise some money or cannot stage event.

One thing that didn't work was the location of he Sunshine stage. The music was good, but painfully loud so it was impossible to talk to stall holders in that area.
Why not erect the Sunshine stage nearer the edge of the Burgage, facing towards the Palmers, so that people can still talk to each other?
It might be a good idea to have a "safety fence" to keep people from going too near the speakers - the noise level was way over the "First Action Level" (I am a Health and Safety professional).
Click the heading for some information provided by my union.

I thought the event looked really good. Lovely day too and all seemed to enjoy the atmosphere that I saw..

Happened to be in Stottesden today . . . met a lady who travelled to Tenbury to visit the Applefest PM. She told me she was amazed that so many of the shops were closed . . . typical of the complacency of some of our retail outlets I'm afraid.
