May 2022

This year we will be celebrating the House of Cider turning five and what better way to celebrate our birthday than with a traditional May Day event on 2nd May.

Our event will include craft stalls, meet the makers, live music and activities for the whole family.

Our glamping Canvas Studios and Suites offer the best places to stay in the South West, or choose to spend an out-of-this-world sleepover in the iconic Futuro House.
