This year we will be running the Cider and Perry Trials in a new location – Dragon Orchard in the Harry Taylor Memorial Hall (the Green Shed).  Dragon Orchard is about a third of a mile from Putley Parish Hall and offers more space and, as the name suggests, we will be in an orchard.

We are receiving a large number of entries this year and the Bottle-conditioned/fermented Cider and Perry classes are already full – don’t leave it too late to get your entries in!
