As the long winter nights and cold weather take hold, thoughts of summer festivals can seem a long way off.

Thankfully In Cider Festival is just around the corner, replacing 3 days of miserable British winter with maximum summer festival fun. Tickets are selling fast and a repeat of last year's sold out event look very likely.

The 3 day music festival returns to Pontins Sand Bay near Weston-super-Mare on January 31st to February 2nd, promising a weekend of top live music and hearty seaside entertainment, with the additional benefits of chalet accommodation, catering and leisure facilities.

Over 20 live acts will be performing across the weekend including established festival names including Ferocious Dog, Gaz Brookfield & The Company Of Thieves, Dakka Skanks and Holy Moly & The Crackers.

The Sunday line-up will have a distinct local flavour, with West Country favourites Mad Dog Mcrea being joined by local heroes The Leylines, Nick Parker and Irie Fire. Weston's much loved ska act The Communicators will also be making a rare appearance to top off a great day of live music.

Full weekend tickets are priced at £175 per person and include half board chalet accommodation.

Day and weekend tickets without accommodation are also available in limited numbers from just £29.

All tickets include music, meal and Bluecoat entertainment, plus use of the Pontins leisure facilities including heated indoor swimming pool. The holiday park is situated on the beautiful Sand Bay shoreline, Weston's hidden gem.

Event organiser Kev Davis says: “The first In Cider Festival was a huge success and we're excited to be returning to Pontins Sand Bay with another fantastic line-up. Expect all of the good vibes of a summer festival, with the added comforts of a catered, indoor event.”
