Party in the Orchard 2026

Join us on Saturday 18th July 2026 for Party in the Orchard, as we celebrate 5 years of Dunham Apples with a special summer day in the orchard.

Running from 12pm until 8pm, this is a relaxed, family-friendly event designed for people to come together, enjoy the orchard in the height of summer, and make a real day of it with friends and family.

Expect great food, chilled music, a lovely orchard atmosphere, space to settle in for the day, and a brilliant setting to enjoy one of our favourite events of the year.

What to expect

Your ticket gives you access to a full afternoon and evening in the orchard, with:

• A family-friendly summer event in the heart of the orchard
• One drink included with every paid ticket
• Wood-fired pizzas available on site
• A BBQ food offering
• Relaxed vinyl sets from Matt the DJ, bringing laid-back tunes throughout the day
• A bouncy castle and bouncy pad for children
• Plenty of space to bring your own chairs, picnic blankets and gazebos and settle in for the day

This is all about enjoying the orchard at its best, soaking up the atmosphere, and celebrating summer at Dunham Apples.

Ticket information

• Saturday 18th July 2026
• 12pm to 8pm
• £10 per person
• Under 3s go free and do not need a ticket
• Capacity is limited, so booking in advance is strongly recommended

Important information

This is a ticketed event only and will not be open to the general public on the day.

To make the event feel more special and exclusive, the Apple Barn will be closed to the general public during the event, so you must book a ticket in advance to attend.

On arrival, tickets will be scanned at the gate, where guests will also receive their drinks voucher.

As the Apple Barn will be closed to the general public during the event, Party in the Orchard guests will be directed to a separate dedicated car park on the day. Full details will be provided after booking, and parking will be clearly signposted when you arrive.

Guests attending with dogs:
As you know we are completely dog friendly at The Apple Barn. As there will be a significant number of visitors to the event, however, we are asking all owners to keep their dogs on a reasonable length lead. If it is a warm day, please bring a water bowl to keep your hounds hydrated too. We would be very grateful if you could also take poo bags home with you.

Make a day of it

We’d encourage guests to bring along camping chairs, picnic blankets and gazebos to make themselves comfortable and enjoy the full afternoon and evening with us.

Whether you’re coming for the food, drinks, music, family atmosphere or simply to enjoy a summer day in the orchard, Party in the Orchard is set to be a lovely laid-back celebration and a brilliant way to mark our 5th birthday.

Book early

This is a limited-capacity event and spaces are expected to go quickly.

If you’d like to join us for one of the highlights of the Dunham Apples summer calendar, we recommend booking soon to avoid missing out.
