Apple juice now ready

Knucklas Castle Community Land Project Posted on 17 November 2019 by Kevin17 November 2019

Apple juice now ready

There is a limited quantity (60 bottles) of KCCLP apple juice available.  The crop this year was not as good as last year and the juice we have is from apples grown in an area wider than Knucklas.  It has been bottled for us by Adam Davies in Skyborry.  Because of the scarcity we have decided in the first instance to ration distribution to 3 bottles per household.  The cost is £3 per bottle – it’s worth it for the label alone, from a painting of Knucklas by one of our members. We will be selling it (and lots of other goodies) at local markets/fairs over the next few weeks.  Come along and get what you need for Christmas time:

7th December – Castle Inn, Knucklas

14th December – Knighton Community Market

15th December – Aardvark (Brampton Brian)21st December – Knighton Community Market.

All proceeds go to KCCLP.

Family allotment open

Knucklas Castle Community Land Project Posted on 11 April 2016 by Kevin11 April 2016

The Knucklas Castle Project is pleased to announce re-opening of the family allotment.

As from Monday 11th April the Family Allotment will be available for children and parents to use throughout the summer and autumn of 2016.

There are tyres, blue boxes and buckets available for you to plant potatoes, onions, peas, carrots, lettuce and much more. Once you have chosen a tyre or a box please label it clearly (plastic labels or wooden signs will be left in the shed for you to use).

The Family Allotment shed has hand trowels & forks plus buckets, kneelers, gloves and all the equipment you need to do a bit of growing in a small space.

There is also a greenhouse to start seedlings such as sweet corn, runner beans, sunflowers or whatever you choose to plant out on your plots later in the season.

There will be some seeds available for you to use too and instructions as to what to plant and when if you should need it.

Jacky Smith and Siggy Haynes are available to help you get started – if you give us enough notice. If parents wish to meet us up at the allotments with their children please ring Siggy on 528223 or email sigridwilkes@gmail.com

The Family Allotment is free to all users but a donation to costs would be welcome. It is funded in the main by the sale of the Knucklas Allotments Eggs and any surplus vegetables.

ALL WE ASK IS:

You keep the shed tidy and respect other people’s plots
Make sure there is always a responsible adult with your children
Observe the rules which are pinned on the door of the Family Allotment shed

King Arthur book

A wonderful new book has been written by one of our members for youngsters to enjoy the legend of King Arthur. Look on the Shop page to see details and purchase.

Castle hill

A new view of the castle using LiDR technology has become available, look here: LiDR survey
Many thanks to Mark Walters for this new view.

It raises some interesting questions about the way the castle has been used over the many years of its existence.

We are also on the Welsh governments catalogue of heritage buildings here Coflein
