Craft Cider Week 2026

Our Craft Cider Week launches in style at Newton Court, where guests can expect an evening of prime Herefordshire steak, expertly cooked and served with all the trimmings (and of course, a complimentary arrival drink of Newton Court cider or sparkling apple juice). Set on over 150 acres of organic Herefordshire farmland, Newton Court Cider has built a reputation for sustainable and scrumptious cidermaking.

Nestled in the heart of Herefordshire's golden orchards, The Orgasmic Cider Company crafts traditional, unadulterated ciders and perries using 100% fresh-pressed local fruit. By blending time-honoured cider-making techniques with a passion for organic orchard heritage, this eco-minded producer yields bold, authentic flavours that celebrate the raw character of the Marches countryside.

Pips Cider is a family-run craft cider producer in the beautiful Golden Valley, making cider from the fruit of our own traditional orchard in Dorstone. Our story began when, after years of selling our apples to other producers, we decided in 2010 to keep the fruit and make our own cider. Today, we handcraft 100% apple juice cider from seven traditional varieties, using no artificial colourings or flavourings. Our orchard, planted over 66 years ago, is at the heart of everything we do – from the apples we grow to the cider in your glass. Discover more about the story behind Pips Cider on our website, and visit our Facebook page for our latest news, events and award-winning results.
