Apple & Embers Shindig

19 September 2026 from 6pm to midnight

After the amazing success of last September’s event – The Big Cider Shindig – we thought it would be rude not to do it again. Apple & Embers is our way of marking the Autumn Equinox and is definitely our favourite time of year here at Hitchcox.

As summer gives way to autumn and the orchard heads into harvest, we’ll be gathering for an evening of live music, proper food, cider (of course, other drinks will be available. We are not monsters!) and fires burning as the light begins to fade.

There’ll be plenty going on if you fancy it, or you can simply grab a drink from the bar, find yourself a spot and settle in for the evening.

Stay for the music, get a bit carried away dancing, raise a glass to the harvest and, if heading home afterwards feels like far too much effort, bring a tent and camp for free.

Get your dancing shoes on…

The Mechanics bring the kind of energy that makes standing politely at the back increasingly difficult. A brilliantly lively roaming band, they move through the crowd with acoustic instruments, rich harmonies and plenty of personality, putting their own folk-inspired spin on rock, pop and indie favourites. Expect everything from Mumford & Sons and George Ezra to The Killers and Van Morrison, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself joining in.

Oxfordshire singer-songwriter Andy Hoger brings a more laid-back feel to the orchard, blending his own music with well-loved classics. His is the sort of set that goes particularly well with a cider in hand, good company and nowhere else you need to be.

Then there are The So & So’s, serving up a lively mix of blues, rock, country, reggae and whatever else they decide to throw into the pot. They’re brilliant musicians with plenty of feel-good energy and exactly the right amount of unpredictability, which makes them very well suited to an evening at Hitchcox.
