The Cider Bus

"Whatever it is that makes the cider bus what it is, there is no doubting that come Wednesday, many festival goers will battle through the traffic heading to the site, trudge to their campsite, set up their tent, sit down on an invariably broken camping chair, and take all in … but the weekend will not have truly begun until they get to the cider bus for that first sip of the golden nectar"

A slightly lighter and sweeter cider than our classic Burrow Hill (50cl, 5.5% abv) . Delicate, floral and juicy. Deliciously refreshing. Found on the Cider Bus at the legendary Glastonbury Festival. The perfect cider for summer days and winter fires.

“Sparkling bright gold colour. Appealing appley aroma, with hints of red apples and the warmth of crumble. Good acidity on the palate with balanced astringency. Overall, a good mouthfeel with appley fruit flavours and a light hint of dark winter spices. A clean finish leaving you wanting to come back for another sip.” Great Taste Awards 2026

Still farmhouse cider in a bag in a box with a tap. It stays fresh for up to 6 weeks once opened—thanks to the airtight design—and keeps for months unopened. 6% abv (this may vary), 20 Litres (37 pints)

Our still cider is a bittersweet cider typical of the best Somerset traditions. Medium is the most popular. Half and half is a mix of medium and dry and dry is proper farmhouse dry cider.

“Their draft farmhouse cider is smooth, golden and moreish - a cider that treads the path between rustic and refined with assured ease. “ The Independent

We have been selling Burrow Hill Cider at Glastonbury Festival since the very beginning. Firstly out of the back of a landrover, then from a horse-drawn wagon and finally from the legendary Somerset Cider Bus which has been a staple of Glastonbury Festival for the past 35 years. According to the Independent ‘it may be almost as iconic as the Pyramid Stage itself’.

You are invited to just show up and lounge in the orchards for the day. You can find out more about whats on on our events page here.
