Oh boy, are you ready for that long swim to the IoW for Bestival? Yes? No? Whatever the case, remember to raise a glass of Somerset's finest apple or pear cider to those brave enough to undertake that charity swim. Make sure you come and see us in our Cider Garden...also home to this summer's festival favourite, Rockaoke...currently still on tour in O'Neill's round the UK (next one is Leicester on the 16th). We're can't quite believe the festival 'season' is nearly over and are getting quite sentimental...especially about good ol' Glasto; what a year for the big one, eh? We're still positively brimming with Glasto and cider-related trivia - did you know that we press enough apples a year to give everyone at the festival 600 each of that lovely fruit? Or that when the first Glasto started in 1970, we'd been making cider for exactly 200 years (and Hendrix had been dead for just a day) which is pretty darn impressive (we think)! Anyway, here's a few links for fun and to get you well and truly in suitable Swansong mode; the first is for Bestival's new and ever-so-cool iPhone App; the second is for a lovely Spotify playlist courtesy of GeoffB, via shareyplaylist.com.

Bestival - Everything's Going Swimmingly
Oh boy, are you ready for that long swim to the IoW for Bestival? Yes? No?
