July sees the start of the summer holidays and what better way to celebrate than to participate in the Cider Saunter. 

The Cider Saunter runs from Saturday 1st July – Monday 31st July 2023 and there are 20 pubs taking part across the whole of the branch area. All of the pubs will be stocking a range of draught real cider and perry which will include at least one offering from our local East Midlands producers.

To enter the Cider Saunter, visit one of the pubs on the list and order a half pint (or more!) of draught real cider or perry. Tell the staff you’re on the Cider Saunter and ask for a sticker for that pub. Stick it on your entry form and fill in the other details. Visit at least 10 pubs to qualify for a free pint of cider or perry (or even beer) at The 2023 Robin Hood Beer & Cider Festival in October. Visiting 18 pubs will get you the chance to win a very special prize (see below).

Look out for pubs which may not be included on the Saunter but still have East Midlands cider on sale. These can be recorded on your entry leaflet as lucky dip entries and count towards your totals.

Your chance to win a pleasure flight!

If you visit 18 pubs from the cider saunter (including lucky dips) and send in your entry form, you will be included in a prize draw. One lucky winner will have the opportunity of a free one hour pleasure flight around the Nottingham area in a light aircraft. Click on the aircraft for more details.
