Golden Apple Day at the Orchard, 17th October
Old Woughton Parish Council again partnered with Arts for
Health at the Parks Trust Woughton on the Green Community Orchard Apple Day. This year the main activity for the children was to colour silhouettes of apples in wood to create hanging decorations.
Arts for Health use arts and creativity to improve health and wellbeing in communities and in health care settings. Resident artist, Catherine, provided all the materials for the children to use in the OWPC marquee. Arts for health are based in Milton Keynes University Hospital and are responsible for the 400 artworks on the display in the hospital, the largest permanent collection in Milton Keynes.
This Parks Trust managed event seemed bigger than ever with live music and a whole host of different stalls and activities on offer. This year was the orchard’s Golden Jubilee having been established 50 years ago.
