Sip Off at the Bramley Barn - Long Meadow Cider

What to Expect

The Sip Off at the Bramley Barn is a unique dining event held at Long Meadow Cider’s glass-fronted Bramley Barn, set in the heart of the family’s apple orchard near Portadown. The event takes place during Armagh Food and Cider Weekend 2026 (3 to 6 September). Each course of a tasting menu is paired with both a craft cider and a premium spirit, and guests are invited to vote for their favourite pairing at each stage - creating a friendly, interactive competitive element to the meal. The McKeever family at Long Meadow host the event, combining their harvest-time orchard setting with a relaxed, food-forward evening. Tickets sell out in advance; booking via Visit Armagh is essential.
