There will be a huge array of autumn produce at Borough Market’s celebration of Apple Day, including cheeses, meats, breads, cakes and pies, cider, calvados, apple juice and mountains of every apple variety. Traders will be at Borough Market from 11.00am to 5.00pm. The Market will be full of music and festivities, celebrating apples and autumn throughout the day.

Apple Day will be marked by Southwark Cathedral in the Choral Eucharist at 11.00am and, together with Borough Market stallholders, the Flower Guild at the cathedral will deck the cathedral with special displays using apples and market produce. The Eucharist is a public service open to everyone, and will be followed by the ‘Fun with Apples’ event, which will include apple bobbing, in the churchyard. The public restaurant The

The company’s programme begins with a procession from Shakespeare’s Globe to Borough Market, followed by games and activities from 12.30pm, and the performance in the Market will begin at 1.30pm.
