Cider Festival - doors open Friday 24th May at 4pm

It's that time of year again where the apple blossom heralds a season of mellow fruitfulness later in the year. It is also the time of year we have our annual Cider Festival. We will be sampling the products of some outstanding cider and perry makers at our annual festival with guided tastings from Tom Oliver and Kath Potter both renowned throughout the world of cider and perry.

If you think you know about cider and perry then think again. There are a wide range of styles and flavours to choose from which may win over the most ardent beer drinker. Furthermore we will be laying on live entertainment from We are Nomad and Fraktal Glass.
