The best Bristol cider festival to date! Friday and Saturday evenings

during the afternoon session than last time. And more ciders too - over
100 on offer! - and great music from The Mangledwurzels at all sessions.

Friday 24th July 2009 - Bath Cricket Club Cider Festival
(2nd Bath Summer Cider Festival) at Bath Cricket Club,
North Parade, Bridge Road, Bath BA2 4EX.
A
gorgeous evening set the scene for a wonderful cider festival in outfield
of Bath Crick Club, in the shadow of Bath Abbey. Another sell-out - there
were only 7 tickets left to sell when the doors opened, and they went
very fast indeed! A great night with cider drinkers spilling out across
the cricket field in the balmy summer evening.
