Cider and Perry Trials

Update January 2021

As you will already know, the 2020 Big Apple Cider and Perry Trials were cancelled because of the current Covid-19 restrictions.

The next Big Apple Cider and Perry Trials are now scheduled to take place in May 2021.

This is still provisional as we really don’t know what will be happening in five months time but, hopefully, we will be able to run the event so, if you have potential prize-winning cider or perry do keep some back.

We hope to have more details available in February.

Here’s how it works…

******ANNOUNCEMENT******With huge regret we’re announcing the cancellation of this year's Harvestime weekend.We had hoped to run a limited version of our annual celebration over the weekend of 10th and 11th October. A lot of effort was put into devising a programme that would meet the Covid-19 restrictions that were in place earlier in September. Unfortunately with rising case numbers and ever-tightening measures we have now reached the point where it no longer seems possible to run a safe and enjoyable event.We’d like to thank everyone involved with our participating venues, The Big Apple Association volunteers and the Public Health team at Herefordshire Council for the tremendous amount of work and thought they put into trying to make this event happen.We remain hopeful that we’ll be able to run Blossomtime in Putley over the weekend of May 2nd and 3rd 2021. Let’s get this year’s harvest in first! ... See MoreSee Less
