The Secret Garden's 5th annual Cider Fest returns for 2026 — and this year, it is bigger than ever with a full two-day festival celebrating cider, live music, street food and summer in the garden.
Taking place on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th July, the festival will bring together a wide selection of ciders, live entertainment, family-friendly activities and Secret Garden street food across the weekend.
Saturday 18th July – Cider Sessions
Saturday's Cider Sessions is the more adult-focused day of the weekend, created for cider lovers, music lovers and anyone looking for a relaxed summer day out.
Guests can enjoy 20+ ciders, live music throughout the day, cheese and cider flights, garden games, Giant Foot Darts and the wonderfully chaotic Bonkers Olympics. Secret Garden street food will also be served throughout the day.
There will also be pre-bookable tutored cider tastings with Rull Orchard, offering the chance to learn more about cider-making and sample some fantastic local cider.
Early bird tickets are £8 and include a first cider or soft drink. Tickets are limited and advance booking is recommended.
Sunday 19th July – Family Day
Sunday is a relaxed, family-friendly day in the garden, with plenty of cider still available for the grown-ups alongside activities for children.
The day will include a Cinderella meet and greet, face painting, a bouncy castle, street food, drinks and a laid-back garden atmosphere.
Entry on Sunday is free.
Cider Fest is one of the highlights of the Secret Garden's summer calendar, offering a weekend of local cider, food, music and entertainment in a beautiful outdoor setting near Exeter.
