Do you love vintage cider adverts as much as we do? These Whiteway's advertising cards from the late 1920s-30s are some of our favourites stored in the museum's archive.

Found in the cellars... a sign from a bygone age and a relic of the Woodpecker social club.

The champagne lifestyle, at a fraction of the cost? Yes please! 🥂 Babycham was first submitted to the Three Counties Agricultural show in the late-1940s by Francis Showering. They soon adopted the iconic deer motif, this model being a very early 1950s version of their mascot.

When you revisit a museum 30 years later & finally get to try the samples… 🍎 The @museumofcider.bsky.social in Hereford was so much bigger than I remembered, although it probably has changed a lot! The basement area was especially impressive. ...we did leave with 2 bottles of perry in hand! 🍐

One of the things about our museum is that visitors think it's going to be small from the front. But it stretches... This was drone footage from our building work last year when we had to demolish and rebuild one of the 1890s 'champagne cider cellars'.
