Folkus on Food: Thatchers Cider

We’re really excited to say that once again this year, Thatchers Cider will be sponsoring the Cambridge Folk Festival – meaning that you will be able to find Thatchers Gold in all of the bars around the site! So for all of you cider fans out there, there’s even more to look forward to at this year’s Festival!

Did you know? Every pint of Thatcher's Cider has a thirst quenching 20 million bubbles!

Thatchers Gold is full of flavour with a wonderful, rich golden colour, a smooth and refreshing cider that goes down a treat when you’re with great friends in the company of amazing music. If you’re looking for a cider that’s chilled and laid-back, then Thatchers Haze is for you.  A naturally cloudy cider that’s made with Thatchers’ choice of dessert apples to create a crisp, sweet finish. Pour your pint, sit back and enjoy!

Thatchers’ ciders are crafted at Myrtle Farm in Somerset, where they have over 500 acres of their own apple orchard. With skills and expertise passed down over generations, they are passionate about creating the tastiest ciders – from the orchards through to their oak vats, every step of the cidermaking journey is just as important as the next, so they can truly say, this is “what cider’s supposed to taste like”.

We had a quick chat with Martin Thatcher, the Managing Director at Thatchers. He said,

We’re delighted to be bringing our Thatchers Cider to the Cambridge Folk Festival again this year. After all, what could be better than enjoying your favourite music with your favourite pint of cider. We can’t wait to soak up the atmosphere at this year’s Cambridge Folk Festival. We love the Festival’s values, and as a fourth generation cidermaker, heritage and family mean so much to us, and that’s something we know we share with everyone here.

Robert Sanderson, Managing Director of Cambridge Live said,

It’s such wonderful news that Thatchers Cider are once again supporting the Cambridge Folk Festival. Not only does this mean that everyone coming to the festival will be able to enjoy a great cider while relaxing and enjoying the likes of First Aid Kit, Patti Smith, Rosanne Cash and John Prine, but their support means that we can continue to invest in the next generation of musical talent through our emerging artist stages.

So make sure that you enjoy a pint of Thatchers when you visit us at the Festival this year, because great cider and great music go hand in hand!
