"a superb piece of storytelling”  The Scotsman

A show dedicated to apples, for children aged 6 years +

Whenever Katy eats an apple, she’s instantly reminded of her Grandad, an extraordinary man who grew 24 varieties of apple from an old piece of wasteland (the 24th tree being extra special). In remembering her childhood and apple loving Grandad, Katy realises what she needs to do to continue the orchard’s legacy.

The Forgotten Orchard is a heart-warming story of kinship, local food and legacy that re-welcomes to our plate the characterful Scottish apples of our heritage: Tam Montgomery, Scotch Dumpling, The Bloody Ploughman (and all its gore) and the Glasgwegian apple Clydeside.

Featuring storytelling, music and Scot’s ballads, the production brings to life Scotland’ s rich orchard heritage and celebrates diversity, home grown food and the joy of harvest.
