Beer Festivals

What about Cider festivals? I need to acquire some better cider than Strongbow...although, I love the stuff 

There are a lot of cider festivals listed here: http://www.somersetmade.co.uk/ciderfestivals/

But english.bloke is right - you'll have to head to the southwest for most of them.

Yep, I just went to the 2nd Bristol Cider Festival on Saturday . They had over 100 ciders and perrys to try (I only had 3 drinks though because I got very drunk at last year's one ).

They also have one coming up in Bath later this month and another in Bristol in the summer .

I'm planning on going to the Battersea Beer Festival (they are raising money for Battersea Dog and Cats Home's new cattery) on the Friday.  Anyone else going?

Oooh! I really wish I could. Unfortunately we have plans that night.  

We usually go to the CAMRA festival at Earls Court in the summer.

Anyone know of any going on near Portsmouth?

check out the CAMRA link I posted.
