Brothers Cider is set to headline as the official cider brand at Glastonbury Festival 2022.

Celebrating 27 years at the festival, Brothers Festival Apple Cider will be served at over 100 bars this year during the five-day event, alongside a number of other festival favourites from its portfolio including Brothers Toffee Apple and Wild Fruit.


This will be the second year of the official partnership agreement with the festival, which is making its return to Worthy Farm, just three miles away from the home of Brothers Drinks Co. in Shepton Mallet, after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

Brothers Cider will be supporting the partnership by launching a series of customer activations across the UK and giving away thousands of prizes through on-pack promotions including 10 pairs of Glastonbury tickets for the sold-out festival.

A social media competition via the Brothers Instagram and Facebook pages will provide another much sought after opportunity to win an additional pair of Glastonbury tickets.

Michael Eavis, creator of Glastonbury Festival, commented: “Local provenance and heritage is important to us, so we love having a Somerset cider producer at the Festival to showcase some of the best this county has to offer. Brothers Cider is produced less than three miles from the Festival site and we have proudly welcomed them every year for the last 27 years.”

Matthew Showering, managing director of Showerings Cider Mill, said" “We are honoured to be returning to Glastonbury Festival this year. Having introduced Brothers Cider to Glastonbury back in 1995, the festival holds a special place in our hearts. This partnership is sentimental for our brand and our heritage as a local Somerset producer.

“Festivals are part of our DNA and this festival season is set to be one of celebration and people coming together again so putting our brand at the heart of these moments will not only allow us to provide a great experience to festival-goers but drive affinity with the Brothers brand. We can’t wait to welcome festival-goers back and bring them a season full of fun and flavour.”

As part of its ongoing strategy for growth, Brothers Cider will also be served at over 80 UK events in 2022, connecting with over five million people.

Glastonbury Festival 2022 will take place between 22nd-26th June at Worthy Farm, Somerset with headline acts including Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar already confirmed.

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
