Co-owner of the Cidery, Jolyon Olivier, said he hopes Hillside Jamm can become a permanent fixture on the local calendar.

“It should be a great fun day out,” she added.

“The festival has got something for everyone and is family-friendly, with plenty going on with local music, food, entertainment and traders.”

The cidery is also known for its sustainability ethos, from harvesting through to packaging and in keeping with this, the festival is also banning single-use plastics and all visitors will receive a branded reusable cup to use throughout the day.
