The Forgotten Orchard

About The Forgotten Orchard

"Informative but entertaining… it succeeds by putting its story and characters first… a superb piece of storytelling." ★★★★ Thom Dibdin, The Scotsman

“Oh Clydeside apple, ma bitter sweet neighbour,
Your skins fair bulgin’ wi zest and flavour,
The mair I munch, the mair I savour
Right doon tae yer pips.”

A heartwarming, uplifting show dedicated to the fascinating history of apples, seen through the eyes of Katy and her Grandad.

Whenever Katy takes a bite of an apple, she is instantly transported back to memories of her Grandad—an extraordinary man who transformed a piece of wasteland into a thriving orchard with 24 unique apple varieties (with one very special tree!).

Now, Katy must rediscover her roots and continue her Grandad's legacy.
The Forgotten Orchard brings Scotland’s rich orchard heritage to life with storytelling, music, and Scot’s ballads. Discover the colourful characters of Scottish apples like Tam Montgomery, Scotch Dumpling, and the legendary Bloody Ploughman. 🌳🍏

Celebrate kinship, local food, diversity, and the joy of harvest with this warm and vibrant production for all ages!
