Following on from the great success of last year's inaugural event, Tewkesbury Cricket Club are pleased to announce the return of the Cricket & Cider Festival to be held at the club's Swilgate Ground in Gander Lane, Tewkesbury.

The event takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend starting on Friday 23rd with a match between a current Tewkesbury CC XI and the Club President's XI starting at 15.00, although the cider festival will be open from 14.00. Following the match there will be food and live music in the pavilion.

On Saturday 24th, the club's First XI have a crucial league match against Hatherley & Reddings CC followed by live music once again in the clubhouse. Plus there will also be a chance for spectators to win some prizes with our special Cider Quiz Sheet!

There is a fun day on Sunday 25th with a Six-a-Side Tournament and various other competitions including country skittles, welly wanging, golf, coconut shy and many more. The event concludes on Bank Holiday Monday 26th with a Dads vs Lads exhibition match.

The Festival is open to all and entry is free. There will be 10 traditional ciders on sale throughout the weekend and for the first time two barrels of craft beer - just in case cider isn't your thing! As well as this, the club bar is well stocked with a wide range of chilled bottled real ales, beers, lagers, wines, spirits and soft drinks, not to mention crisps and snacks.

There are lots of benches and places to relax whilst watching the cricket and food will be served throughout the weekend. All visitors will receive a free program detailing the ciders on sale and itinerary of events.
