Silent Disco in the Orchard
Move, Feel and Express Among the Orchard
On Thursday 5th March from 5.30pm to 7.00pm, we’re taking our orchard and turning it into the happiest little dancefloor on the Peninsula. for our first-ever Silent Disco in the Orchard.
Led by Sophie from POHSStudio, this movement-based experience invites you to step away from the rush of daily life and reconnect with your body, your senses and the natural beauty around you.
This intimate twilight session offers a chance to dance the way you feel — no judgment, no expectations, no choreography required.
What Is a Silent Disco in the Orchard?
A silent disco replaces speakers with wireless headphones, allowing each person to immerse themselves fully in the music while moving through the orchard with rustling leaves, birds fluttering past, a breeze moving through the rows.
With POHSStudio guiding the journey, this becomes more than dance. It’s movement meditation, expression, release, and play — all set against a backdrop of apple trees and the soft light of a late-summer evening.

Why This Experience Belongs in the Orchard
At Rahona, we’re passionate about creating experiences that connect people to place. Our Merricks & Vine Orchard isn’t just rows of trees — it’s a living landscape shaped by history, weather, community and the seasonal rhythm of the Peninsula.
A silent disco is the perfect way to honour that landscape. It’s about presence. Listening. Moving with what’s around you. Feeling grounded while still expressing something joyful and personal.
This event is part of our ongoing vision to bring the orchard to life in new, unexpected ways — blending movement, creativity, nature and community under our philosophy: Where Heritage Meets Harvest.
What to Expect on the Day
When you arrive, you’ll be fitted with wireless headphones and welcomed by Sophie from POHSStudio. From there, you’ll be guided through gentle movement, breath awareness and expressive dance as you make your way through the orchard rows.
No experience is needed — this is for every body and every level of confidence. Whether you move boldly or barely sway, the experience is yours to shape.
As the sun sets over Merricks North, the orchard becomes a place to unwind, reconnect and simply enjoy being outdoors.
