Hitchcox Cider

27/05/2026

We’re really looking forward to the Midsummer Gathering!

We’ve got a brilliant line-up of live music this year with Andy Hoger, The So & So’s and The Mechanics all playing across the evening, plus plenty of cider, burgers on the grill and hopefully a warm summer night in the orchard.

It would be lovely to see lots of familiar faces and plenty of new ones too.

This year’s soundtrack comes from Andy Hoger, bringing laid-back singer-songwriter energy and summer evening classics, followed by The So & So’s with their brilliant blend of blues, rock, country, reggae and feel-good festival spirit. Headlining the night are The Mechanics, a roaming folk-inspired band guaranteed to get the orchard singing along long after sunset.

Big burgers on the grill.
Cold cider in hand.
Music drifting across the orchard while the evening slowly turns golden.

The food at the Midsummer Gathering is all about proper festival comfort food done the Hitchcox way. Generous, smoky, messy in the best possible sense.

The longest evenings deserve proper celebrating.

So, we’re filling the orchard with live music, burgers, cider, dancing and the sort of midsummer atmosphere.

Three live acts.
Plenty of food.
Cold drinks.
Long light and a little magic.

What a beautiful May Day that turned out to be.

The orchard was full of music, dancing, laughter, children playing, friends gathering and glasses being topped up all evening long. Seeing so many people enjoying the space exactly as we’d imagined made the whole thing feel very special.

Thank you to everybody who came along, supported it, sang along, danced along and helped create such a lovely atmosphere from afternoon through to nightfall.
Now our eyes turn to midsummer.

27 June.

Another evening of live music, long light, burgers on the grill, cold cider and that wonderful orchard feeling that seems to take on a life of its own once the sun starts to drop.

The Great Hitchcox Midsummer Gathering is on its way.
We cannot wait to welcome you back to the orchard.

Music drifting through the orchard.

Smoke rising from the grill.

Cider cold enough to mist the glass.

That’s midsummer sorted.

Our tasting notes, in all its strange and wonderful glory.

From crisp and smoky Traditional Cider to the berry-fuelled chaos of Old Rusty and the dangerously easy-going Vintage Perry.

Some are sharp.
Some are smooth.
Some arrive quietly then absolutely wallop you halfway through the glass.

All made with care.

Find your favourite.

We’ve had a few people ask lately:
“Can we stock your cider?”

Short answer… yes.
If you’ve got a pub, bar, or you’re shifting good stuff to good places, we’d love a chat.
