Site tours are back

We’ve got our first two site tours of 2026 booked in and are hoping you’ll book to join us.

Site tours give you the chance to take a look behind the scenes and hear more about the business – how it started and plans for the future. And if we’re lucky a sample or two!

We’re going to Jennings Brewery this month and then Cumbria Crystal in March.

Jennings Brewery Tour - Discover the Jennings Story
Date: Thursday 26th February 
Time: 10.30am to 12noon
Price: £25 +VAT
Venue: Castle Brewery, Brewery Lane, Cockermouth, CA13 9NE

Step behind the scenes with a guided tour and uncover the heritage, stories, and secrets that make Jennings so special. From their proud brewing history to the character of their beers, you’ll enjoy a memorable journey through time – finishing with a tasting experience in the Taproom.

  • The brewery tour involves open staircases, multiple levels (heights) and significant climbing, and is unfortunately not accessible for wheelchairs or those with limited mobility.
  • For everyone’s comfort and safety, food and drink may not be consumed during the tour.
