La Faîs’sie d’Cidre

Cider Making Festival

A unique Jersey experience in the beautiful surroundings of Hamptonne

Details

  • 18 October 2025 - 19 October 2025

La Faîs’sie d’Cidre brings together communities, volunteers and apple and cider experts to create a unique Jersey experience in the beautiful surroundings of Hamptonne from 10am to 5pm each day.

But it's not all about the cider - there's also live music, entertainers, creative activities, dance, fantastic food and even better company. There really is something for everyone - lots to do, things to learn, people to meet and fun to be had! Support our cider making volunteers as they, with the help of working horses, produce cider for next year’s festival. Two pressings each day 10am-12pm & 2pm-4pm. Each pressing takes 40 x 25kg sacks of cider making variety apples. That’s 160 sacks of apples!

Parking is very limited for this event, please catch our free 'Apple Bus' or make alternative transport arrangements.

The 'Apple Bus' is a 43-seater coach that will leave on the hour from Liberation Square (by Le Petit Train layby), commencing at 12pm each day. It will run half past the hour from Hamptonne back to Town.
