Sausage and Cider Festival at Robin Hill is built for people who want food, music and a summer crowd rather than a quiet picnic. The venue page lists cider, sausage food options, tribute bands, a silent disco, axe throwing and a children’s tent, so the day has more range than the title suggests. It is a Robin Hill event for groups who need several things happening at once.
The festival runs from noon to 10pm, with tickets from £24.50 plus booking fee and Live Tour Promotions organising the event. That gives you a full day of music, food and crowd without needing to rush back for a ferry, though the Downend setting means lifts, taxis and the drive home are worth sorting before everyone starts on the cider.
This belongs with food events, but the tribute bands and children’s tent make it broader than a tasting day. It should suit friends, parents with older children, and anyone who wants a lively July event without crossing the Solent. Take a layer for the late finish, pace the food and drink, and check Robin Hill’s latest visitor notes before you commit the whole day. The axe throwing and silent disco give the group something to talk about on the way home.
