I have many fond memories of visiting (and cycling through the country lanes) to Hamptonne Farm and am glad to tell you that the Cider Festival is here again! Enjoy a traditional event where Jersey’s rich heritage of apple growing and cider making is celebrated with lots to see, do, learn and enjoy.
History of the Cider Festival
In the 17th Century cider was made by farmers in Jersey to give to their staff, making up part of their wages
