CIDER tasting afternoons will take place near Tarrington next month.

The public will be able to sample various varieties of locally made cider and perry at tastings at Putley Village Hall, off the A438, between 2pm and 6pm on May 3, and noon to 5pm on May 4. Apple teas will also be on offer.

The festival is part of a twice-yearly celebration of apples, pears, cider and perry grown in the Marcle Ridge region.
