Samhain Celebration & Apple Pressing Event
Join us for a special Samhain celebration at the centre, where we’ll honor the ancient traditions of the season and the turning of the year. Samhain, the Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, is a time for reflection, transformation, and connecting with nature’s cycles.

Throughout the day, you’re invited to bring your own apples and bottles and take part in our traditional apple pressing. A wonderful hands-on activity for all ages, this is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the harvest season by pressing your apples into fresh juice to take home. Whether you’re new to apple pressing or a seasoned pro, our team will guide you through the process in this drop-in session, available between 11 AM and 4 PM. Hot apple cider (non-alcoholic) will be provided.
❤️ 16:00 - 17:00 - Samhain Fire & Intention Setting
As the sun sets, gather around the Samhain fire from 4 PM to 5 PM to mark the threshold between the light and dark halves of the year. In the warmth of the fire, we will share stories, reflect on the past year, and set intentions for the months ahead. This is a time to release what no longer serves us and welcome the new. You are welcome to bring personal tokens or thoughts to offer to the flames as part of this symbolic cleansing and renewal ritual.
