Batlow CiderFest 2023

Batlow CiderFest is a colourful street party celebrating the end of the apple harvest and the best boutique ciders from around Australia and those brewed locally.

The festival features a diverse range of local talent along with over 80 stalls focussing on niche ciders, gourmet food, locally grown produce and homemade treats. Set in the main street of Batlow against a backdrop of trees in autumn colours, the famous (or infamous) Apple Tarts dance with patrons, the aromas of global cuisines tempt all palates, and the crispness and diversity of Australian ciders, brewed with quality fruit, slakes everyone’s thirst and produces an experience like no other.
