Ciderganza at the yew tree inn

Friday 18th April – Sunday 20th April 2025

A cider festival over the Easter weekend in our pub and large pub garden, featuring over 20 draught ciders and 60 bottled ciders.
Camping and Caravanning is available for the weekend on Broome Farm or at the Yew Tree Inn. Click here to book.
Guided cider tastings will be led by fourth generation cidermaker and farmer Albert Johnson at 2pm on Friday and by titan of British cidermaking and founder of Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry, Mike Johnson, at 2pm on Saturday. These tastings will be held in our beautiful Event Room with stunning wall mural of cidermaking through the seasons on Broome Farm. Tickets are available here.
On Sunday we will be hosting an open day (12-4pm) at the farm for you to come and see us in action in our top-working farm diversification project! Our mission is to save historic varieties and preserve genetic diversity in apples for future generations, and we hope to make some unusual and delicious ciders from it as well.
Firebird Kitchen will be serving wood-fired pizzas (core menu plus Ciderganza specials) on Friday 5-9pm and Saturday 12-9pm, with a special menu on Sunday afternoon (12-3pm).
Free entry for the whole weekend except the ticketed cider tastings.

Join Albert Johnson, fourth-generation farmer and perrymaker, for a guided tasting of single variety ciders. Hosted in our beautiful event room with stunning wall mural of the cidermaking season on Broome Farm, join Albert to explore the full spectrum of flavours of cider produced by Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Company. We'll taste a range of different single varieties, from the sharpest, most acidic end of the spectrum to the most bitter and most astringent apples we grow! Then we'll experiment with blending them together to get an understanding of this core art at the heart of cidermaking.

Take our orchard walk from the Yew Tree and find us in the orchard to discover our top-working project. We began adding new varieties through this grafting process in 2019, taking our farm from growing around 100 varieties of apple to more than 150. But this year will be our biggest yet - hundreds of trees converted, and more than 80 new varieties of apple introduced to Broome Farm.
