After last year's lockdown Christmas, we are all looking forward to celebrating with our friends and family this festive season. To get the party started, Sandford Orchards has just launched a fantastic new Mulled Cider Kit (RRP £18.99) to warm up the proceedings. They have also just released four of their cider favourites in a party sized 3 litre bag in box (RRP £10.50-£12.00) all available from www.sandfordorchards.co.uk.

Barny Butterfield, Chief Cidermaker at Sandford Orchards comments: “We are so excited about the return of festive gatherings this year and wanted to launch some new products that would add some extra special yuletide cheer. Our new Mulled Cider Kit is perfect for taking the edge of the colder winter evenings and our 3 litre bag in boxes ensure you can keep the cider flowing for longer.”

Editor's Notes

● Founded in 2002, independent, family-owned Sandford Orchards is based in Crediton, Mid Devon in the oldest working cider mill in the UK. The area has long been known as one of the most fertile parishes in all of Britain, both for its grazing and ability to grow apples. Crediton sits in the lee of the moors, so receives the right amount of rain and the right units of heat in summer. Sandford Orchards takes a fresh, natural and low impact approach to producing cider.

● Combining tradition and innovation, Sandford Orchards produces an award-winning range of core session ciders including Devon Red, Devon Dry and Devon Mist and fruit ciders; blackberry flavoured Fanny's Bramble, Berry Lane using perfectly ripe raspberries, Old Blossom made from delicate Elderflower and an invigorating and zingy Cider Ginger.
