The Autumn Orchard Festival sets to celebrate the harvest from Norton Priory’s extensive orchards, including the National Collection of Tree Quince, the only one of its kind in the UK.

Visitors can enjoy an artisanal market in the museum building with gifts and treats from local suppliers, as well as lots of produce from Norton Priory’s orchards and the Walled Garden. A pop-up bar selling mulled cider and other seasonal drinks can be found in the atmospheric setting of the medieval Undercroft. There will also be live performances from local bands.

Find fun outdoor games and activities on the croquet lawn in the Walled Garden including pumpkin ring toss and skittles. You can also take part in an autumnal trail around the garden.

*NEW for 2026* Don’t miss out on the very first Norton Priory Bake-Off at the Walled Garden where a grand selection of homemade apple and quince cakes will compete for the title of Best Bake. More details to come.

This event is included with General Admission, with up to 3 children free per paying adult! Book online ahead of time for a discount. Pre-booking closes at 11.45pm the night before your visit. Or pay General Admission on arrival.
