Republic Of Somerset at Yurt Lush

A event on Saturday 29th March. The event starts at 20:00.


It is time for a grand old celebration of Somerset, and to show our support for the county's finest export: Real Cider. For one day only, The Cider Box takes over a Mongolian yurt in the centre of Bristol to showcase the very best Somerset cidermakers to a backdrop of music from DJs and live bands.

MARCH 29 @ YURT LUSH, CREATIVE COMMON, TEMPLE QUAY BS1 6DG (NEXT TO TEMPLE MEADS STATION)

12noon -12 midnight, free entry all day!

Come and support your Somerset traditional cidermakers, many of whom have had no business trade since before Christmas due to the floods, and get to sample a variety of small batch, artisanal ciders direct from the farm! There will be over 30 real ciders to try, including those that are newly pressed for 2014, single varieties, perrys, cider cocktails and perhaps even a splash of cider brandy. The complete list of ciders is on the Facebook event page: http://www.facebook.com/events/1540959589461517/ . You'll enjoy a full day lineup of DJs and bands for cider festival vibes, a plethora of cidermakers on hand to chinwag with and even sample a tutored tasting of their cider or 3. There will be an especially curated food menu to follow too!

The Cider Box is on a crusade against the so-called'ciders' which have flooded the market in recent years, with their added artificial sweeteners, carbonated water, low apple percentage and other odd additions. The team are working with artisan and farmhouse producers of real cider across the UK, to achieve the goal of educating landlords and drinkers around the country, armed with stories and secrets of this beautiful creation.
