CIDERLAND

location: weston super mare, uk
year: year 4 winter 2014
duration: 14 weeks
Cider is a long-established traditional summer drink, especially in the West Country, it is well-known for its wide variety of delicious ciders. However, there is a dramatic decrease in the number of apple orchards in the UK. We are in danger of losing, not simply in cider and apples, but in the diversity of landscape, ecology and culture. The aim of the project is to celebrate this historical tradition and raise awareness of the importance of orchards to our landscape and culture. Also, it is to introduce this rural base production into the city centre, fusing the making of this traditional craft into people’s daily life. The ciderey will become the new, central venue for celebrating real cider production and hosting festivals to gather many cider makers and lovers.
