Banging pots around apple trees to ensure a good h Banging pots around apple trees to ensure a good harvest might seem a bit strange, but you can't risk the cider supply...

On 6th August as part of the Winter Fire Festival, you can join smallacrescyder as they celebrate 15 years of Small Acres Cyder with a traditional Wassail celebration. 

Enjoy the ancient orchard tradition of sprinkling last year's cider on the trees, banging pots to wake the trees and burning the winter pruning on a big bonfire. 

These festivities will be accompanied by live folk music, wood-fired pizzas, and of course Small Acres Cyder and their legendary hot mulled cider.
