Cider Festival 2020

Save the date…. An autumn harvest celebration. Every year – rain, hail, or shine!

Scrumpy cider, great live bands, loads of great food and smiles all round is what the Kellybrook cider festival is all about. With a strong focus on families, it’s an event for everyone.

Since its inception 32 years ago, it has become the premier independent cider festival event in Australia.

2020 SPECIAL SCRUMPY BATCH  We are not running the festival this year. We have heard though that many of you are commemorating this special time of year by catching up online with friends for a few ciders and to reminisce over past fun times at the Kellybrook Cider Festival. So… wait for it! The Kelly’s have been pressing fresh apples and Phil has made a special 2020 batch of scrumpy to get you all through this time of home isolation. The scrumpy will be bottled early on Saturday morning ready for pick up from our cellar door between 10am and 1pm. We are also hitting the road to personally deliver scrumpy flagons in our local area for your iso scrumpy parties. If you live within 30 minutes of Wonga Park, we will deliver to your door. Minimum order for delivery is $65.00 (two bottles of scrumpy or one bottle plus another Kellybrook product). We’re happy to deliver wine and Kelly Brothers cider as well. Head to our shop to order your scrumpy by Friday.
