5 reasons not to come to our festival

(but please do)

Greetings, Ciderling!

🎟️ Waking The Cider Festival - Saturday 19th July midday to 11pm, Framfield 🎟️

It’s squeaky bum time - we’re just a week and a bit away from our Waking The Cider Festival. We’ve got that end of term feeling. Nervous. Excited. A little giddy. We’re like a couple of awkward 16-year-olds hoping you’ll come to the dance with us. 

This is our long and rambling way of saying…

Hurry up and buy your tickets, will you? PLEEEASE! Put us out of our misery! 

Or, for your grab-and-go convenience, here’s five excuses not to come to our Waking The Cider festival. Pick whichever you like, they’re on the house. 

1. You’re a city slicker who’s scared of a bit of mud

The forecast says it’s 24 - 27 degrees every day between now and the festival, so we doubt there will be any sludgy muddy bits. If the heavens do miraculously open during the event, we’ll probably all do a jubilant jig around the orchard. The festival is at a literal farm. So, if you’re a clean freak, stay away.

2. You don’t like cider

Fair play, seems pretty counterintuitive to come to a cider festival if you don’t even like the stuff. We do have a full bar with wine, beer, spirits and tonnes of soft drink options, though. So as excuses go, not liking cider is a pretty flimsy one. 

3. You hate us and want us to fail

Ah, you must be part of our rival cidermaking duo, Button Nose and Cleanshaven. We love having nemeses!

4. You’re too old to pee in a bush and sit cross legged on the grass

Good, so are we. That’s why we’ve booked very expensive proper toilets and encourage everyone to BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair). It’s also BYOHM (Bring Your Own Hayfever Medication) and BYOFF (Bring Your Own Factor Fifty). 

5. You’ve already got other plans on 19th July

Oh, well that’s fine. You must be doing something incredibly, life-changingly important. Because this is our TENTH birthday party (and we’ll cry if we want to / if you don’t come). So we know you’d only miss it for something equally as epic and exciting, right? Right?! 🤔

BONUS EXCUSE: you live miles away (we do have camping space, parking, and plenty of local air BnBs though, just saying)

If none of those excuses are your size, get your tickets now for £30. We’ve got multi-buy discounts so sling it in the group chat and make a plan.

There’s incredible food - pizza, Nepalese, or Mexican. We’ll have craft activities, live music all day long and probably the cheapest pint you’ll find in Sussex. There’s even a vintage tractor coming along to complete the rural idyll aesthetic.

So, while we’ve gladly gifted you some oven-ready excuses not to come, we really do hope you will. It’ll be wonderful to share the day with you. 

Here, have one last ticket link. 

If you’ve got any questions (or suggestions of other totally legitimate excuses not to come) just reply to this email 😊

Until next time, cheers!
