Hartpury Orchard Centre

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 Gloucest

er 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.

🌟 HIGHLY COMMENDED β€” Community Climate Action Award: Hartpury Orchard Centre & 99 PINES🌟
Established in 2008, Hartpury Orchard Centre is one of the region's most significant conservation projects, safeguarding over 100 heritage pear varieties. Founded in 2021, 99 PINES has expanded this work, restoring and replanting local orchard spaces.

Together, the two projects have donated hundreds of bottles of perry and juice to Forest-based charities β€” turning heritage produce into direct social benefit.
Protecting biodiversity and reviving traditional skills. Congratulations! 🍐

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
