Fairfield Parish Council has confirmed that the first apple tree pruning of 2024 will take place this Saturday, 10 February.

The orchards are a favourite feature of the Fairfield landscape with many residents and this is a great opportunity to learn a little about how to care for them. This event is open to all (children must be supervised) and is a great way to get out in the fresh air and be involved in the Fairfield community.

Meet at the Community Hall at 9.30am, or in the West Orchard (the one along Hardy Way) anytime during the morning. All tools and instructions will be provided. Please wear suitable shoes for potentially muddy conditions. Gloves are also advised.
