Event Details
Join us for our annual celebration of Gloucestershire’s orchards and cider industry! Working alongside the Gloucestershire Orchard Trust, we invite you to a day of music and dance that pays homage to the amazing variety of apples in Gloucestershire. See the horse drawn cider press in action, peruse local maker’s stalls, and try our scrumptious range of craft ciders from Severn Cider. Bring your own apples and a container to take the juice home!
Throughout the day, there will be performances from local folk bands and Morris dancing groups, plus free kids’ craft activities with local artist Ally Goff. The cafe will be serving delicious home-cooked lunches, cakes, hot drinks and snacks.
Pay what you can on the door to support the upkeep of our historic building.

BOOK TICKETS
Lady From The Deep is an original one-woman play by David James, inspired by the iconic horror stories of Robert W Chambers and H P Lovecraft and performed by Jasmine James, a veteran of the Cheltenham theatre scene.
On a stormy evening in 1930s Cumbria, playwright Cassilda welcomes you into her living room to perform excerpts from her latest work and share the inspiration behind it. Her creation draws on the folklore of the Cumbrian lakes and legends of an ancient and powerful presence sleeping beneath the water.
Although she’s enthusiastic and prone to over-sharing, as the wine flows and the clock approaches midnight, you may start to wonder if there’s something she’s not telling you…
Tickets are £14 per person and refreshments will be available at the popup bar.
