SouthBank Sausage and Cider Festival on Saturday 21st - Sunday 22nd October 2017
Posted on: 16 Oct 2017The weekend of Saturday 21st - Sunday 22nd October will be positively brimming with bangers and swimming with cider as SouthBank Club in Bristol holds its Sausage and Cider Festival.
An arts bar, music venue and social club on Dean Lane in Bedminster, the weekend will be the perfect chance to unwind, eat and drink, which is a unique space in the region that has an impressive roster of events for the city's creatives. (And if the weather bodes well, you can sit in their fantastic outside garden.)
But to the important matter of sustenance and quaffage which will, indubitably, have a raft of fine ciders on offer. More than a dozen, in fact, from some of the very best cider purveyors in the South West, including Thatchers, The Original Somerset Cider Co., Honeys and Lilleys. Food will, naturally, be sausages. And lots of them to soak up those excellent fermented apple beverages.
Also taking place throughout the weekend will be a cider making workshop courtesy of Brewers Droop Home Brew Supplies, where you can make cider from scratch, bottle it up and take it home.
There will also be plenty of live music providing the soundtrack for the weekend from a variety of acoustic acts, so you literally will be able to indulge in a two-day treat of eating, drinking and being merry. What's more, when you first arrive you'll be treated to whet your whistle with a glass of free cider. Who can argue with that?
Tickets are available at a very reasonable fiver here
or can be bought on the door.
SouthBank is located at Dean Lane, Bedminster, Bristol, BS3 1DB. Tel. 0117 966 5552
