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
