Once again, we were blown away by the amazing support from everyone at our Trick or Treat event!
It was lovely to see not only the children popping in as they passed by, but also people of all ages who stopped to enjoy the decorations, a hot chocolate, and a hot dog.
As you can see from the photos, it was truly a spooktacular night! 🎃✨ 💜

We are getting set up for a spooktacular night.
We will see you at the orchard from 5. 🎃

(This event is weather depending)

Actually lost for words. Not what we wanted to deal with this morning. If you’re able to pick it up have some respect and put it in a bin! 🤮🤬

Our 2027 Calander is available to purchase and with a slightly updated design.
Filled with photos taken by the locals of Highfield. They are available for just £4.50 from most of our committee members, Highfield Premier Superstore or from our gardening group at the orchard on a Wednesday.
We will also be able to drop calendars off locally or post calenders for an additional cost
Please message us if you have any questions or want us to put your calendar aside.
All money raised goes back into the orchard and putting on events for the community!
Thank you for your continued support. 💚

The scarecrows definitely arrived in Highfield yesterday!
A massive thank you to everyone who entered; they were absolutely blooming marvellous.

Everybody had a great day, and all the raffle prizes have now been claimed.

This year's favourite scarecrow was Dobby!

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported us. We hope you enjoyed the trail, and a whole new scarecrow trail will be back next year!

🍎 Calling all apple lovers! 🍎
We’ve had lots of queries about picking fruit from our orchard, so here are a few things to remember:

🌳 Our orchard is for everyone to enjoy, so please only take what you can use.
🍏 Only pick ripe fruit. Gently lift or twist the apple — if it comes away easily, it’s ready. If it needs pulling, leave it a little longer.
🍎 Fallen apples are also fine to eat or cook with, as long as they’re in good condition.
🗺️ Don’t forget our fruit tree map! It identifies the different trees and tells you whether they are eating or cooking apples, helping you choose the right fruit.

Thank you for helping us look after the orchard and sharing the fruit with everyone. ❤️🌳

Wow! Last night truly was the most magical evening. It was amazing to see the orchard being loved and used by the families in the local community.

We have to give special thanks to Churches of St Barnabas & St Patrick, Parish of High Spen & Rowlands Gill who came and ran the tombola and cake stall.

Bounce North East for the inflatable slide and High Strothers Farm for the amazing hog roast.

And of course to the very small but mighty team behind Highfield Village Community Action Group your hard work each week ensuring the orchard is maintained and protected for the whole community is amazing. Events like last night couldn’t happen with you!

We have one unclaimed raffle prize: blue 161-164

Thank you all who came and supported this event all the money raised goes back into maintaining the orchard and future events 💚
