25 years ago, we loaded up a van with apple juice, muddy boots, and one big idea, to make proper fruit drinks that taste amazing without any added sugar or nasties. We headed to our very first music festivals, unsure what to expect… and came home sold out and buzzing. That was the spark that started Bensons.
Since then, we’ve poured juice in muddy fields and sunny campsites, keeping festivalgoers refreshed from WOMAD to Glastonbury and beyond. From those early weekends of fruit-fuelled fun, we’ve grown into a name you now see in farm shops, cafés, pubs, and family venues across the Cotswolds and beyond.
Through it all, we’ve stayed true to our roots, still pressing every bottle right here in the Cotswolds, using real British-grown fruit and nothing artificial.
With Glasto just wrapped this weekend, we’re raising a bottle to those first muddy festivals, and to everything we’ve built since.
This Summer, We’re Keeping It Local: See You at Big Feastival!
This year, we’re sticking close to home and bringing the Bensons buzz to The Big Feastival; a brilliant mix of live music, delicious food, family fun and summer sunshine, right on Alex James’ farm in Kingham.
We’ll be there all weekend with our full range of fizzy and still juices and juicy waters made with real fruit and none of the stuff that makes you crash later. Whether you’re dancing to a headline act or just chilling with the kids and an ice cream, we’ve got something cold and refreshing ready for you.
