We are thrilled to spotlight the wonderful Fenland Orchards Project, who will be bringing the deep history and natural beauty of our local landscape right to the heart of the Fenland Food Festival 2026!

Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, this fantastic initiative is all about connecting our community to heritage fruit growing—including local Wisbech varieties of apples, pears, plums, and cherries.

At the festival, they aren't just exhibiting; they are taking center stage to share their passion and knowledge with an incredible session:

🎤 Community Engagement & Interactive Talk: Meet community development worker Andrew Callaghan and the project team to learn about their local community orchard site, volunteer opportunities, and their work protecting over 60 species of local flora and fauna!

🍳 Special Talk & Cookery Demo: Head over to the demonstration stage for an exclusive joint session featuring Andrew Callaghan & Alison Crouch from the Ferry Project Cookery School. Together, they will dive deep into the world of Fenland apples, showing you how to turn local heritage orchard fruits into spectacular, easy dishes.

Come celebrate the unique landscape, history, and culinary skills of the Fens:
