More info

After the success of Croft Farm's Cider Festival last year, it was decided to make it an annual event. The festival aims to be friendly, keeping true to its slightly hippie West Country roots with a mix of beers, ciders and lagers from around the county. There will be plenty on offer for children too and the Leisure and Water Park are available to festival goers whilst they are there.

The bars, food and light entertainment will begin at 3pm (gates open at 2pm Friday) with the music starting at 4pm. Music will continue till midnight. The festival gets back into full swing at 12 noon on Saturady. Music will finish at midnight on Friday and Saturday. Festival goers are asked to off site on Sunday by 2pm.

Croft Farm is located in a small hamlet so they are unable to offer a 24 hour party experience. They expect the site to be quiet by 2am each night.

Saturday is fancy dress day.

Dogs are permitted on leads, people camping are allowed to bring a limited amount of alchol with them, but alcohol is not permitted into the main festival area, only the camping fields.

The festival also has two and four person (heated) chalets available.

Directions

Leave the M5 at junction 9. Head towards Tewkesbury and turn right at the first set of traffic lights, into Shannon Way. At the next set of traffic lights turn right and go over the motorway bridge. Take the first turning left, through a housing estate, and go over the motorway for a second time. At the T junction turn right onto the B4080 and then take the first left into Croft Farm.

On entering Tewkesbury drivers should look for the B4080. This is on the NE side of the town, at the end of the High Street when leaving Tewkesbury in the Worcester direction.

Croft Farm is in the hamlet of Bredon's Hardwick, unmarked on most maps, but if you travel along the B4080 towards Bredon for 1.5 miles you will see the Park signs on the left-hand side, almost opposite the Cross Keys Inn.

More information will be here when available.
