SPEAR Street, Northern Quarter is about as far away from a sunlit orchard as you can imagine, but Soup Kitchen is the apple of our eye this weekend (July 25-28). Its hosting a Cider Festival with real cider options from across England and Wales including the likes of Gwynt y Ddraig, Westons, Thatchers, Broadoak, Double Vision, Gwatkins, Hogans and more. Expect, also, rare imported French ciders and, of course, home-made and organic foodstuffs with their resident DJs spinning records all weekend too.
