Cider lovers rejoice! Thanks to the wonderful Bristol Cider Shop there’s now a series of events planned for the next few months, incorporating a variety of ways in which you can enjoy your favourite tipple…
The shop, selling only ciders produced within 50 miles of its home on the Christmas Steps, reached its six month anniversary this month, and Pete and Nick have been working hard to expand their offering even further. Part of their plans involve offering their customers more by way of events, which include tasting, tours, festivals and courses.
The events currently in the diary are below, and are also listed on the Events page of their website – keep checking back to see what else has been added!
