Newton Court, near Leominster is a fringe venue for the wonderful Hereford AppleFest, which runs from 28 September to 13 October. They will be offering a special menu, harvest-time cider tours, and family-friendly wooden apple painting.
Of course there will be a touch of cider or apple juice incorporated to their year-round menu, but for AppleFest, there will also be a three-course menu that really showcases pears, apples, perry, cider, and apple juice. This menu is served from 12-3pm, Monday to Saturday, during AppleFest. See the Applefest Menu 2024 here.
Cider Tours will be running as usual and always reflect what is happening seasonally in the cidery and out in the orchards. During September and October, it’s an especially evocative time as the apple harvest will be in full swing, with picking, pressing, and fermentation getting underway. You can book the AppleFest Cider Tours for either Saturday 28 September or Saturday 5 October, starting at 1.15pm, followed by tastings and a Ploughman’s lunch. Full details and booking here.
For family fun, have a go at painting your own apples to turn into a fridge magnet, a coaster, a hanging decoration, or to make your own garden trees look pretty when the leaves fall. All the items needed to create these appley masterpieces will be provided. Full details here.
