We’ve got two site tours coming up – one in June on World Environment Day and the other in July.
Shed One Distillery - 5th June – 12.30pm to 2.30pm
Come and join Zoe & Andy at Shed One Distillery on World Environment Day to find out more about their award-winning micro distillery. Environmental sustainability is also at the heart of their business. As an enterprise that rents their building and has no outside space they have to think outside the box when it comes to fully embracing green initiatives.
Begin with a welcome (choice of alcohol or non-alcohol) tipple followed by a tour of the distillery where they will talk about how it all began with 3 gins in a shed in their garden, to where they are now creating and distilling gin, vodka and liqueurs and hosting experiences. Plus, their plans for the future. Back in the visitor bar, relax with some savoury and sweet canapes (inspired by the botanicals in their spirits), tea, coffee and tasters. Zoe & Andy will be on hand to answer any questions.
Shed One Distillery won The Gin Guide’s Environmental Sustainability award for 4 years running; Cumbria Food Awards, Sustainable/Ethical Business 2024; in-Cumbria Business Awards, Best Community Involvement of the Year 2024 and Cumbria Tourism’s Makers & Producers Award 2024.
*Canapes are gluten free & vegetarian.
