It chestnut session so it’s time for some conker fights and roasted chestnuts.
The official home of the world conker championships has pretty much everything you could want to know about conker fights and Woodlands Junior School in Kent has the simple explanation of the rules.
As for roasting sweet-chestnuts – they take about 20 mins to roast. Don’t forget to cut a cross in the top otherwise they’ll explode. Apparently boiling them for 20 mins and then crisping them on the fire gets the best result!
We’re organising a conker and roast chestnut event on Sat 8th Oct – meet outside St Anne’s church in Bagshot at 3pm.
