“Our ciders will include recent award winners and favourites requested from previous years, plus many others from around the world to enjoy over the weekend,” adds Phil Kennedy, who organises the event with the Stubbing Wharf.
“We also have the return of our popular French Cider Bar with some new Breton Ciders as well as our popular draft cider ‘Mont St Michele, which is unique to the north of England.”

Paul Fowler, of Hebden Bridge, who brought his daughters along, said:
It is a lovely setting for it and the cider was pretty good as well.

It is something a bit different and a lot of fun really. We are not usually big cider fans but when it looks as good as this you have to try.”
Non-alcoholic apple juice was available for the youngsters.
