If you're looking for a great day out this spring, Ciderfest is back in Nelson and we've got your chance to be there.
The New Zealand Cider Festival brings together cider makers from across the country for a full day of tasting, live music, great food and good company. It's New Zealand's only festival dedicated entirely to cider and has become one of Nelson's favourite annual events.
With more than 100 New Zealand ciders to discover, you'll have the chance to sample everything from traditional favourites to exciting new varieties.
Alongside the cider, there'll be live entertainment throughout the day, artisan food vendors, cider talks and tasting sessions, plus plenty of space to relax and enjoy the atmosphere in the beautiful surroundings of Founders Heritage Park. It's also a family-friendly event, with a dedicated kids' zone and free entry for anyone under 18 when accompanied by an adult.
Whether you're a long-time cider fan or simply keen for a fantastic day out with friends, Ciderfest is the perfect way to kick off the summer festival season.
