Suffolk Smallholders Society

Harleston Cider Co. Autumn visit

Smallholders are able to attend and open day and look round the Harleston Cidery, a family run craft cider makers on the Suffolk & Norfolk border. Started in 2010 they are known for there award winning cider, but also unusual spicy cider vinegar, and their new Iced Cider!

Members will be taken round the site to see how the cider is made, ask questions and have a taste or two of this most English of drinks. Plus there will of course be the opportunity to take some home at the end.

We will be visiting on one of their monthly open afternoons, which are free to the public. Our plan is to all arrive together for 12pm so we can go around in a group with a guided tour.

Book this date in your diary, and send an email to Tabitha (editor) if you are interested in reserving a space so we know numbers!
