Sure, we're all feeling a little less than impressed that summer is drawing to an (already rainy) close. But Newtown Hotel is one venue determined not to give up on its summer vibin'. In a first for the Newie, it will hold a one-day Cider Fair, a celebration of the humble apple brew.
Making a name for itself as the I-dub's 'home of cider', Newtown Hotel will transform its outdoor Cider Yard into a playground for both connoisseur and novice, with stalls and samples aplenty. The Cider Fair is an opportunity to meet the makers and taste over 25 different ciders, with featured brands including Bilpin, Batlow, Kopparberg, Strongbow and the local Young Henrys, as well as several other delicious drops.
With live tunes provided by the likes of Achoo Bless You and Betty & Oswald and coal-roasted pig rolls courtesy of The Animal, the Newtown Hotel Cider Fair is set to be an afternoon of beautiful folk music and educated inebriation.
Free entry will be provided all day, with tokens for tastings to be purchased inside.
