Description
The Cider Experience!
Enjoy a cider tasting and tour at our beautiful East Sussex orchard and cidery!
For the person who has everything, and favours making memories over getting given stuff they’ll only take to the charity shop in January. This Christmas discount bundle includes a guided tour of the cidery with tastings, AND a Bignose and Beardy glass, AND a 3-pack of cider, which can be collected at the tour.
When ordering, pick any date you think will work - this can be changed by the recipient.
Each tour with Bignose & Beardy includes...
- A tour of the orchard, seeing the trees, how they grow and produce apples for cider
- A hands on tour of the cidery, seeing the press, tanks and other facilities used to make our cider
- A tutored tasting and history of all our ciders sitting out among the apple trees (or in the cidery if it is wet)
- Stay on after the tour and enjoy free entry to our tap night with live music, food and cider (when running on the same date)
At Bignose & Beardy we make real vintage Sussex cider and vinegar using local waste fruit. Our ciders are wild fermented, slow matured, unfiltered and unpastuerised. We produce small batches which change in profile with each year, depending on the source of the apples and the weather. We do everything by hand and leave our ciders to mature for at least a year and often longer, resulting in complex flavours. Our ciders are Eastern Counties or New World in style, fresh, acidic, fruity, floral and delicious.

Event Refund Information
We will issue a refund for event tickets on request up to 72 hours before an event. After that it is hard for us to resell a ticket and we may already have incurred expenses on your behalf.
Refunds will be for the full amount minus the ticketing fee we will have paid for each ticket (£1 per ticket) and a £5 admin fee.
Ideally we'd prefer to reschedule your ticket to another date or event where an equivalent is available, there is no fee for this.
