Join us this October for our annual Craft Cider Festival — a joyful celebration of traditional cider-making, harvest season, and country life here at New Forest Cider.

Watch vintage presses in action, enjoy live music drifting through the orchard, browse local crafts, and settle in with great food and drink as the farm comes alive for autumn. Whether you stay for an hour or the whole afternoon, it’s a wonderful way to experience the character and charm of the orchard at harvest time.

Across the weekend you can enjoy:

• 🍎 Traditional cider making with vintage presses in action

• 🛠️ Local craft stalls showcasing handmade and traditional skills

• 🐾 Ferret racing, always a crowd favourite

• 🎭 Punch & Judy shows, perfect for families

• 🎶 Live music and cider songs from The Skimmity Hitchers

• 🚜 Free tractor and trailer rides from Burley village to the farm

• 🍔 Local food and drink available on site

This is a relaxed, hands-on festival — informal, lively and full of character — offering a genuine glimpse into traditional rural life and cider-making heritage.
