Market Drayton to host cider festival
Cider lovers will be able to enjoy a wide range of draught craft ciders from across the UK during a pub's 17 day festival.
The cider festival will take place at The Hippodrome in Queen Street, Market Drayton, from Friday, July 7 until Sunday, July 23 inclusive.
The pub will offer a selection of ciders including some not previously available at the pub and the others produced exclusively for the festival.
There will also be award-winners among the available ciders.
As well as apple and pear, there will also be ciders made with elderflower, strawberry, rum and raisin, as well as toffee-apple and ginger, lychee and ginseng.
All of the ciders will cost £2.45 a pint.
The ciders on offer include; Kung Fu Cider (Sandford Orchards), Toffee Apple Cider (Mr Whitehead's), Stan's Big Apple (Thatchers), The Artful Roger (Hunts), Somerset Redstreak (Perry's), Pear Mania (Cockeyed Cider Company) and Moonshine Rum & Raisin (Broadoak Cider).
Vicky Ralphs, pub manager, said: "The Hippodrome will be offering a superb selection of craft ciders during the festival.
"Cider is the perfect drink to enjoy during the summer and we believe that the festival will appeal to cider lovers as well as those enjoying cider for the first time."
Customers will be able to enjoy three third-of-a-pint ciders for the price of a pint.
Tasting notes, describing all of the ciders will be available.
