Cider Enthusiasts Day If you want to learn to make traditional farmhouse cider, but don't have any cider apples trees, then this day is for you.
Before you start Cider Making ...
We will start at 10.00am with an overview of cider making. You will then start making your own cider by picking the apples at a local orchard. These will be collected and you will start the process of washing, milling and pressing the apples. Participation is actively encouraged!
Many of the photos used in this web site were taken by Cider Enthusiast Alexsei Kudikov. If you would like copies of these pictures, or to use Alexsei`s services, please contact him at sdmy@hotmail.co.uk
We will serve a lunch of locally-made produce to maintain energy levels. Each Enthusiast will take away 2 x 75cl bottles of apple juice, 12L cider for fermenting at home, an airlock, and instructions on what to do next.

We aim to finish the day at 4.00pm
Cider making is an outdoor activity so Wellington boots are essential and waterproofs (with hat) advisable - we provide everything else.
Saturday 3rd October 2009 and Saturday 17th October 2009 The cost is £65 per adult with a maximum of 10 adults per Enthusiast Day. We can also run Enthusiasts Days for small groups so why not have a cider making day for your team at work, your stag or hen day, or just for you and your friends? Call us to discuss your ideas.
