Ciders lovers across the West Midlands will be able to indulge themselves as a festival is set to take place.

Running from Friday, July 31 to Sunday, August 9, the craft ciders, which will include traditional apple ciders, perries and flavoured ciders, will be priced at £2.99 a pint.

They include Farmer Jims Prickly Pear, Hecks Slack-Ma-Girdle Cider, Purbeck Dandy Dab, Rich’s Sunset Gold, Thistly Cross Jaggy Thistle, Harry’s Scrummage and Pulp Razzberry Rush.

A spokesman for J D Wetherspoon said: “The festival is a great celebration of craft cider.

“It will allow us to showcase a number of craft ciders not previously available to our customers in the pub.”

Three third-of-a-pint tasters will also be available for the price of a pint, while tasting notes on all of the craft ciders will be available at the pubs, with a digital version also be available on the Wetherspoon app and website.
