The story

La Faissie d'Cidre in St Lawrence

Jersey Heritage's cider festival at the Hamptonne Country Life Museum in the rural parish of St Lawrence revives the island's traditional apple pressing, with live crushing demonstrations, tastings, music and dance tied to Jersey's Norman-French farming heritage each mid-October weekend, whatever the autumn weather brings.

La Faîs'sie d'Cidre, Jèrriais for the cider-making occasion, is staged by Jersey Heritage at Hamptonne Country Life Museum in the parish of St Lawrence, most recently over a weekend in mid-October.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Apple pressing is demonstrated live on a working schedule across both festival days rather than shown as a static exhibit, using traditional equipment at Hamptonne's restored farmstead site, and the event's Jèrriais name ties it explicitly to Jersey's Norman-French agricultural heritage rather than presenting cider-making as generic craft entertainment

02

The mystery stays covered

A free Apple Bus running from Liberation Square in St Helier to Hamptonne is a distinctive practical feature, making the rural heritage site easily reachable without a car for the festival weekend
