Cider lovers will be able to enjoy an unbeatable range of draught ciders from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, during a 17 day festival at three pubs in the borough.

The cider festival will take place at The Red Lion & Pineapple in High Street, Acton, The Sir Michael Balcon in The Mall, Ealing and The Greenwood Hotel in Whitton Avenue West, Northolt, from July 7 until July 23.

The pubs will each offer a selection of ciders including some not previously available in the pubs and others produced exclusively for the festival.

There will also be award-winners among the available ciders.

As well as apple and pear, there will also be ciders made with elderflower, strawberry, rum and raisin, as well as toffee-apple and ginger, lychee and ginseng.

All of the ciders will cost from £2.59 to £2.95 a pint.

The ciders on offer include; Kung Fu Cider (Sandford Orchards), Toffee Apple Cider (Mr Whitehead's), Stan's Big Apple (Thatchers), The Artful Roger (Hunts), Somerset Redstreak (Perry's), Pear Mania (Cockeyed Cider Company) and Moonshine Rum & Raisin (Broadoak Cider).

The Sir Michael Balcon manager, Maja Lubkowska, said: "We will be offering a superb selection of craft ciders during the festival.

"Cider is the perfect drink to enjoy during the summer and we believe that the festival will appeal to cider lovers as well as those enjoying cider for the first time."

Customers will be able to enjoy three third-of-a-pint ciders for the price of a pint.

Tasting notes, describing all of the ciders will be available.
