STALLHOLDERS who like to talk about their products or services are being sought to take part in this year's Trowbridge Apple Festival in October.

The event will take place on Saturday, October 2 from 11am until 3pm at Emmanuel’s Yard using the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The aim of the festival is to celebrate outdoor living, sustainability and growing and cooking food.

Organiser Cllr Mel Jacob, of The BIG Community Grow, said: "We are keen to highlight traditional methods as well as environmentally friendly approaches.

"We offer a range of activities from apple tasting and juice pressing, traditional games crafts alongside stalls selling their goods and services or promoting community groups.

The event is free to attend and there will be a range of activities and short talks for visitors.

Mrs Jacob added: “We are looking for stall holders who would like to take part and fit with our approach. We particularly encourage stalls with an interactive approach – demonstrations, tastings etc.

"We would also like to invite stallholders to do a short talk (about 20 minutes) about their activities or to do a demonstration where appropriate.

“There is no charge for a stand but we do ask for a donation of a raffle prize – our event is funded purely by grants and donations and we will have a draw on the day to raise some funds towards our costs."
