This is Clearwell Farm Cider & Food Festival — a weekend celebration of great cider, great food and the start of summer.
After an incredible 2025, we're back and bigger than ever.
Set on the very site of our much-loved Sunflower Festival, with incredible views across the surrounding countryside, the festival brings together over 25 carefully selected ciders, some of the region's best street food, artisan makers and live entertainment from afternoon through to evening.
Spend the day discovering new ciders, browsing artisan stalls and enjoying food from across the region. Wander through the farm, get lost in our maize maze and encounter stilt walkers bringing colour, character and a touch of festival magic throughout the day.
As the sun begins to set, settle in with live bands, vinyl disco DJs and a festival atmosphere designed for long summer evenings. Grab a drink, find a seat among the beach huts and enjoy an evening of music, laughter and celebration.
Come for a cider. Stay for dinner. End up dancing the night away.
This festival marks the official opening of Clearwell Farm for the summer season and our biggest celebration of the year. Gather your friends, bring your appetite and join us for a weekend of cider, music, street food and summer festivities in the heart of the countryside.

Sunflowers...Maybe
We're hosting the festival to celebrate the start of our Sunflower Festival season, but the sunflowers haven't quite read the event calendar. They may be blooming, they may still be growing — that's all part of farming! Either way, there's plenty to enjoy at the festival.
Browse a small but carefully selected collection of artisan stalls, showcasing unique products, crafts and creative talents. Highlights include a talented artist who creates personalised paintings inspired by your tarot card reading, offering a truly one-of-a-kind keepsake from the festival.

Take on the twists and turns of our giant maize maze and see if you can find your way out. While the maize may not have reached its full towering height just yet, there's still plenty of fun to be had as you explore the winding paths. A great adventure for all ages and the perfect addition to your day at the festival.
