Tenbury Applefest returns for a celebration of the mighty apple
Tenbury Wells will once again celebrate its orchard heritage when Tenbury Applefest returns on Saturday 3 October 2026.
One of the town’s most popular annual events, Tenbury Applefest will take place on The Burgage from 10am until 4.30pm, bringing together local producers, traders, families and visitors for a day celebrating everything apple-related.
Known as “The Town in the Orchard”, Tenbury Wells sits at the heart of an area with a long history of fruit growing, and Applefest has become an important date in the town’s calendar.
Visitors can expect a wide variety of stalls, food and drink, entertainment and activities throughout the day, alongside the traditional apple displays, apple identification and juicing that remain at the heart of the festival.
The event offers an opportunity to discover the huge variety of apples grown locally and further afield, while celebrating the growers, producers, businesses and community that help keep the area’s orchard heritage alive.
Tenbury Applefest organisers said: “Applefest is a real celebration of Tenbury Wells and the countryside surrounding us. Our connection with apples and orchards is such an important part of the town’s identity, and it is wonderful to see so many people come together each year to celebrate it.
“There will be plenty to see, eat, drink and enjoy throughout the day, whether you are passionate about apples, looking to support local producers and traders or simply searching for a great family day out.
“We would love to welcome both local residents and visitors from further afield to Tenbury Wells on 3 October.”
Applefest has grown over the years from its earlier celebrations within the streets and markets of Tenbury Wells to its current home on The Burgage, where there is space for a packed day of activities and attractions.
The festival also provides a welcome opportunity for visitors to explore Tenbury Wells itself, with the town’s independent shops, cafés and businesses just a short walk from the event.
Tenbury Applefest takes place on Saturday 3 October 2026 from 10am to 4.30pm at The Burgage, Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, WR15 8SF
