Unveiling British Cider Week

Aweek of cider celebration is going to be held in the first-ever British Cider Week, running from 14th to 23rd April 2023.

Cider makers up and down the country will be taking part, from small microbusinesses to household names, and from start-ups to those with many generations of heritage.

The campaign will be encouraging consumers to explore the diversity of ciders produced in the UK and take part in the many events being organised by producers from the cider heartland of the West Country, the apple gardens of Kent, to urban cider works.

Mark Hopper, Public Affairs Director of the National Association of Cider Makers, endorsing the campaign, says: “The cider industry has such a rich heritage. We have producers who span generations, as well as newer cider makers entering this exciting world for the first time.

“With our first British Cider Week, we’re looking to encourage consumers to delve more into cider, perhaps by purchasing a pint in their local pub or restaurant, picking up a style they haven’t tried before with their weekly shop, or taking part in some of the events and activities that our producers are going to be organising throughout the week.”

Cider makers across the UK will be taking part in British Cider Week with many different events and activities such as tours, tastings and competitions.
