Hosted by the Museum of East Anglian Life in Stowmarket, the event boasts a packed programme for visitors of all ages, including archery, storytelling and a packed bar full of cider.

On Friday there will be a traditional music session hosted by community collective Company of Horham Old School, with guests asked to join in.

Chloe Brett, marketing officer at the Museum, urged cider connoisseurs to visit the festival: "If you want to come and try something new and learn about the process of how ciders are made, then this will be a great event for you."

Miss Brett's five recommendations for the festival are:
