Past Events
During the summer evenings, local musicians and bands often perform in our garden, creating an intimate setting where you can enjoy everything from folk tunes to acoustic sets in a natural, laid-back atmosphere. We often combine these events with some alfresco dining; our local beef burgers from the BBQ and homemade homity pies, alongside some fire pit sautés and onions, with a pint of foaming ale or a crisp pinot, are always a favourite!
The highlight event, though, each year is our ever-popular Proms. For one evening, the Fat Apples courtyard transforms into a music-filled venue, full of celebratory spirit, as the St Keverne Band plays some British classics.
In the quieter winter and spring months, our cafe is the venue for various talks and demonstrations, held next to the warmth of our log burner.
