List of cider producers in Hampshire

This is a list of cider brands from Hampshire in the United Kingdom. Although the county of Somerset is better known for its apple orchards, Hampshire has an equally long orchard and cider tradition.[1] Many Hampshire cider producers are using local varieties of apple. Records show that in 1282 customary tenants of Crawley manor had to collect apples from Waltham garden as part of their work rent.[2] An annual Apple day is held at the Blackmore estate[3]
