Experience one of Jersey’s most cherished rural Norman traditions – the cider-making process, from orchard to barrel. Watch skilled cider makers and the farm horse in action as they crush and press apples to create the initial cloudy juice. Once pressed, the juice is transferred into barrels, where it matures to become traditional Jersey cider.
Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and flavours of this fascinating heritage craft and sample cider from last year’s pressing.
Perfect for all ages, this family-friendly annual festival also features delicious food stalls, live music, and a vibrant atmosphere that celebrates Jersey’s rural heritage. Enjoy a memorable day out filled with tradition, entertainment and great local flavours.
