orchard picnics
Our Orchard Picnics are an invitation to slow down, settle into the landscape, and enjoy a leisurely feast surrounded by the sights, sounds and scents of the farm.
​
Each picnic includes a beautifully prepared hamper filled with delicious local produce, ready for you to enjoy among the orchards at your own pace. Find a quiet corner, spread out your blanket, pour yourself a cider, and let the afternoon unfold around you!
​
Whether you're celebrating something special, catching up with friends, or simply treating yourself to a peaceful escape, an Orchard Picnic is a lovely way to experience the farm. We can cater for most dietary restrictions, so do let us know!
​
£25 per person. Available throughout the spring and summer months, subject to availability and the Welsh weather (which likes to keep us on our toes!).

from pip to pint - a tasting event
Are you up for an adventure? Take a journey through the world of cider with us and explore the varied flavours of Britain's favourite drink!
Some are bright and fresh. Some are rich and complex. Some surprise you with notes of honey, spice or citrus, while others remind you exactly why apples have been cherished for centuries.
Join us in The Orchard Room at The Wobbly Owl, Hay-on-Wye, for a relaxed evening exploring the wonderful world of Welsh cider.
We'll guide you through a carefully selected flight of Ty Madoc ciders, sharing the stories behind each one, how they're made, and why no two apples (or ciders!) are ever quite alike.
Along the way, we'll pair each cider with thoughtfully chosen bites that bring out new flavours and show just how brilliantly cider belongs at the table.
Whether you're already a cider enthusiast or you're looking to find out more, you'll leave with a whole new appreciation for - what Tash claims - is the best health drink.
​
During the evening you can expect:
-
A guided tasting of several Ty Madoc ciders
-
Delicious seasonal food pairings
-
Stories from the orchard and cider press
-
Tips on tasting cider like a professional (without taking yourself too seriously!)
-
Plenty of opportunities to ask questions and discover your new favourite cider
-
A warm, relaxed atmosphere where everyone is welcome
