Meet Ben Collins Stig From Top Gear and Try His New Cider at The Steam Crane
£6 ticket includes your first drink free

A event held at The Steam Crane on Wednesday 30th July. The event starts at 19:00.


Some say… he’s a mysterious, silent racing driver once seen tearing up the track in white overalls. Others say he performed death-defying stunts for James Bond. All we know is—he’s swapped horsepower for apple power, and he’s coming to Bristol.

This Bristol Cider Week, join Sandford Orchards and Ben Collins—former TV star, racing legend, and stunt driver—as they unveil Straw Pressed Vintage 2024, a limited-edition fine cider born from an unlikely but exciting collaboration.

Taking place at The Steam Crane, this exclusive launch offers a first taste of a cider that blends Ben’s precision with Sandford Orchards’ award-winning craftsmanship. Made from fresh-pressed British cider apples, this is cider elevated—refreshing, refined, and crafted with intention.

Entry requirements: 18+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
