The Museum of Cider, Hereford
@museumofcider.bsky.social
A museum in the heart of the cider-making county of Herefordshire, UK. Set up as a charitable Trust in 1973, the museum opened in 1981 in the former 1887 Bulmer's cider factory. Celebrating cider then and today.
It's been a long radio silence since we last posted, but so much has gone on! New website, new events, new staff... And, not least, PerryFest on the 4th October, where we celebrated the humble perry pear with the help of CAMRA, Three Counties Cider and Perry Association, and friends.

When you revisit a museum 30 years later & finally get to try the samples… 🍎

The @museumofcider.bsky.social in Hereford was so much bigger than I remembered, although it probably has changed a lot! The basement area was especially impressive.

...we did leave with 2 bottles of perry in hand! 🍐

One of the things about our museum is that visitors think it's going to be small from the front. But it stretches... This was drone footage from our building work last year when we had to demolish and rebuild one of the 1890s 'champagne cider cellars'.
