CIDER lovers will be able to enjoy a range of draught craft ciders from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland during a 17 day festival at two pubs in Redditch.

The festival will take place at The Rising Sun in Alcester Street and The Royal Enfield in Unicorn Hill, from Friday, July 8 until Sunday, July 24.

The pubs will each serve 20 ciders including some not previously available in the pubs and others produced exclusively for the festival.

They will be available from £2.89 to £2.99 a pint.

They include award-winning ciders, a cider made with sloe berries, a cider matured in oak vats, a cider flavoured with mango and another with damson as well as strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrant cider.

The Rising Sun manager, Michael O'Callaghan, said: "The Rising Sun will be offering a superb selection of ciders during the 17 day festival.

"We are confident that they will appeal to cider lovers and those enjoying cider for the first time."

Customers can enjoy three one-third pint of ciders for the price of a pint.

Tasting notes on all of the ciders will be available at the pubs.
