Calvados Society

The Harrold Calvados Society was set up to revive the art of cider making in the area of Harrold, North Bedfordshire, in England. Some of the cider has even been drinkable!  The Society doesn’t do this for profit, but for fun, and over the years the society’s donations to charity have become a bigger and bigger focus for us. The year is usually a full one, both socially and production wise, with a number of now regular events taking place.
