November 2025:
The 2025 Corbridge Apple Juice charity project has been, yet again, another wonderful community endeavour. From the donation and collection of apples to the Apple Pressing Weekend at Corbridge Cricket Club in October and subsequent production plus sales effort. With thanks to all involved. Including the team who worked tirelessly in the week leading up to the pressing to pick, collect and transport apples across Corbridge. Most of those volunteers also helping out over the weekend. Along with those who donated apples, drove vans, carried orchard ladders, provided food and drink (including Grants Bakery) for the team of volunteers and performed any number of other tasks. With thanks also to Hadrian Border Brewery for their invaluable help. And to Corbridge Cricket Club for hosting and much more. Some 2000 litres of apple juice was transported to Stu Brew at Newcastle University for processing into the 2025 supplies of Corbridge Sparkling Apple Juice and Corbridge Sparkling Cider. Then onward to the Allendale Brewery where it was canned and labelled prior to going on sale. Proceeds of this Corbridge Community Partnership project will go to The Charlotte Straker Project, Corbridge Youth Initiative and the Corbridge Community Partnership. The 2024 apple juice project raised a grand total of £10,500 which was split between the three charities. This is a truly heartwarming project involving our Corbridge community. Collecting thousands of apples that might otherwise never be eaten or used to provide both delicious end products and much needed funds for local good causes.
Corbridge Sparkling Apple Juice and Corbridge Sparkling Cider will be on sale in Market Place on Saturday Nov 15 and (while stocks last) during the St Andrew’s Church Christmas Tree Festival, including the late night Monday opening. And then again on Saturdays leading up to Christmas plus at other selected times. All prices remain the same as last year:
