Saxby's Cider September 2020 newsletter
We have lots happening on the farm this Autumn. We'll be picking and pressing our apples very soon getting next year's cider ready. The pumpkins are growing steadily in the field and will be ready for PYO picking too. And we'll be opening our new taproom for some more events.
See you soon! Philip & Amanda Saxby
SAXBY'S CIDER APPLE DAY PARTY ON THE FARM
SATURDAY 10TH OCTOBER 2020
1 PM- 6PM
Come and celebrate the wonderful world of apples with us on the farm. Where would Saxby’s Cider be without them?
We’ll have apple pressing demonstrations all afternoon using our original rack and cloth press and if you bring your own apples we’ll press them for you so you can take home the juice. Kids will be entertained with a treasure hunt and can go on a trailer ride around the orchard.
The bar will be open with our usual ciders and we’ll be serving hot mulled cider too. Come and try our new Bourbon barrel-aged cider. We’ll also have street food to make sure everyone is well-fed. Duncan Craven will be playing his guitar during the afternoon and keeping us entertained.
Tickets are £5 for adults and £2.50 for under children aged 6 - 17. Under 5s are FREE.
FREE ENTRY

WE WANT YOUR APPLES!
If you have any unwanted apples you can swap them for cider or apple juice at the farm from 21st September until 3rd October. Just bring them to the shop and for every one of our trugs you fill you can have a bottle of our original cider. Fill two trugs and you can swap for a 3 litre bag in box of our delicious apple juice or go for two bottles of cider. We will press your apples and they will be part of next year's cider.
