The inaugural International Craft Cider Festival held at Llancaiach Fawr manor house in the middle of August has been hailed a success by organisers The Welsh Perry & Cider Society.
A total of 20 makers from England, Wales, France, Spain and Germany attended the event, which blended an outdoor music festival format with the opportunity to sample cider and perry from around Europe. The organisers also ran a series of well-attended seminars on subjects ranging from orcharding to cider-related literature.
SWECA member Worley's Cider and Cheddar's Wilcox Cider represented the South West alongside such famous names as Ross-on-Wye Cider, Gwatkins and Oliver's Cider.
