It’s a cliché but the showers really did nothing to dampen the spirit of festival-goers to Brogdale’s Cider Festival yesterday. If anything, the event just seemed more colourful, with rain macs and wellies adding to the spirit.
The Cider Barn curated by Tiddly Pomme's Debbie Hickman, was packed, as was new microbrewery, Mad Cat, and Jumbo Gumbo had all listeners dancing in the yard during their set.
Running on Sunday too, head to the Wild Food Tent to find foragers of note, including flower expert Lucia Stuart – her lavender lemonade is inspirational – and Michael White, who was serving up tasty mini sandwiches of freshly grilled – and filleted – pigeon.
