Ciders and Perrys

At this year's festival we once again offer you the very best from England's small cider and perry producers. Unlike some other local beer festivals, both CAMRA and pub festivals, we source our ciders and perries direct from the producer. This means you will not get to sample these delights anywhere else but at our festival or buying them as we did direct from the makers.

For the first time at our festival we bring you ciders from Kent, the garden of England. It is well known for its fruit production and we could have filled our entire range from that county. Herefordshire is again well represented with an old favourite Lyne Down, the tiny Sarah's Cider and we are particularly pleased to have two perries from the experts at Gregg's Pit.

Finally for those wanting a cold cider, but not over ice, we have a range of Warwickshire's own Hogans Cider in the bottle.
