At the end of October each year the people of Richhill, which is surrounded by orchards, celebrate the locally grown Bramley apple. The festival coincides with the end of the apple harvest.

Saturday saw the historical centre of Richhill transformed into an open air market with live music and entertainment throughout the day.

Photographer Tony Hendron went along to capture some of the atmosphere.
