Hartpury Orchard Centre National Collection of perry pears, with Gloucestershire apple and plum trees Access to the wetland nature reserve is free and open all year round.

The Hartpury Orchard Centre houses the National Collection of perry pears along with examples of Gloucestershire apple and plum trees. Our aim is to preserve these heritage fruit trees at our orchard and Nature Reserve here in Hartpury, as well as to encourage and help individuals and groups rediscover lost orchards or establish new. As we manage the grassland through the grazing of local Gloucester Cattle and Ryeland Sheep, we ask that dogs are kept on leads. Please come and enjoy the orchard in your own time, or join us at one of our open days.

It’s Raining! Whoohoo!

We’re open today from 12-7. Pop down for draught perry & c***r, takeaways and special, rare perry bottle releases.

We’ll also be doing the first press of the season, so come and get involved or see how it’s done.

All of the above have outdoor and indoor options, so don’t worry about getting wet!

(with Steve Mason).

Come and join us on 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 (7:30pm for a 7:45pm start).
We will be holding a bat walk to learn more about these amazing animals and how to use a bat detector (provided) to listen to the bat's echolocation calls and identify the species present.
Everyone will get a chance to use this equipment - which brings bats’ high-pitched calls down to a frequency we humans can hear.
Please bring a torch as it is likely to get quite dark towards the end of the session (probably around 9:30pm).
Plenty of parking (gates will be open). Postcode: GL19 3DB. What3words: afterglow.political.cabinets
Event is free. Donations to the Orchard Centre are welcome
