The Water Poet Bank Holiday Cider Festival and Hog Roast returns this year to celebrate the August Bank Holiday and all things cider! From traditional scrumpy to the funkiest of flavours, The Barn will be overflowing with a who’s who of the best new and classic cider producers around.

Grab one of our many festival ciders, pull up a hay bale and enjoy the best bank holiday weekend ever (Notting Hill, what?). There will also be home-made cider ice cream in case you need to eat cider as well and drink it, and our very own photo booth to make sure all the weekends apple-fuelled antics are captured!
