We opened our new Orcharding Museum (at the rear of the Police Station Museum) in February this year after almost a year's worth of work and a grant from the Native Forest Transition project (sincere thanks to Jane Kelsbie), and if you haven't visited it, please come and have a look (open Wed/Fri/Sat 10-2).
We have now completed the book we promised to produce on orcharding history and apple recipes. It is called the 'Lost Orchards of Bridgetown their recipes, their stories, their history.'
The recipes have been gleaned from a large variety of sources, not least the booklet produced in 1988 for the WA sesquicentenary called 'Apples the Bridgetown Way' which was donated to BHS by the late Jill Cowan. We believe that we've done justice not only to the history of orcharding in Bridgetown, but also to all the recipes that honour the apples grown in our district.
Copies of this book will be available soon, but if you want to order a copy (only a very limited number are being printed initially due to the cost of printing and lack of sponsors for this cost), please email Mary c/o [email protected] and I'll let you know costs etc.

📚✨ ONCE UPON A TIME… ✨📚

In a small town called Bridgetown, there was a magical rink where stories came to life. 🛼💫
On Sunday, 24 August, from 10:00am – 12:00pm, the rink doors would open for a special quest… the Book Week Skate!

Heroes, villains, wizards, queens, pirates, and detectives were all invited to glide together across the enchanted floor. 🎭
The only rule? Come dressed as your favourite book character – and let the magic roll.

🎁 A treasure awaited the best-dressed character, along with music, games, and laughter echoing through the land.
And so, young and old adventurers set off to skate, with the smallest heroes (12 & under) bringing along their trusty grown-up guides.

Will you join this chapter of our story? 📖✨ The ending is up to you…
