Grab a tasty tipple at the annual cider festival at Brogdale Farm in Faversham.

More than 70 different Kent ciders and perries will be on offer made by individual producers including Faversham’s Kent Cider Company.

Owner Mark Henderson will be at the festival with a traditional press and demonstrate cider making methods which have been used for hundreds of years.

He said: “We aim to produce ciders with depth, unique flavours and finishes. To achieve this we follow a rustic process starting with sourcing heritage apple varieties then press with a traditional oak press and leave for nature to take its course in fermenting the juice.”

There will also be a wide selection of other refreshments available, including a wild food tent to introduce foraged food, game and other rural delights.

And visitors can enjoy live music throughout the weekend, including a performance by headline act Coco and the Butterfields.

Little festivalgoers won’t be left out with crafts, storytelling, teddy bear parachuting and a miniature railway to keep them entertained.

Brogdale’s Bernie Cranfield said: “Kent is a treasure trove of small producers and we are dedicated to bringing them together to showcase artisan ciders whilst giving our visitors the opportunity to taste and enjoy them over the weekend.”

There will be a free shuttle bus taking festival goers to and from Faversham station from 10am to 5pm each day.
