Description
Be guided through the world of gin by our expert ginmaster, while you sample delicious and interesting gins from around the UK & beyond. Enjoy a carefully curated menu of sharing plates and paired gins, and get stuck into immersive gin-making activities. Sample gins from local distilleries, brew your own bathtub blend and try to impress the ginmaster with a cocktail at the bar.
A perfect evening with friends, your 4 hour experience includes all the evening’s drinks, your bottle of bathtub gin, welcome canapés and a three-course sharing meal.

Schedule
Welcome
A relaxed meet and greet, with welcome canapés and your first 'local heroes' gin.
Intro to Gin
Meet your ginmaster, who will give you a potted history of gin, transporting you through the gin alleys of Victorian London and all the way into the 2010s gin renaissance. What makes a good gin, and how?
Pick your own botanicals
Hop in the 4×4 to the farm’s beautiful kitchen garden to pick your own fresh botanicals. Our ginmaster will guide you through the herbs, spices and berries that flavour our favourite gins, and the qualities they bring to each gin blend. Keep them with you, you’ll need them!
Bathtub Gin Making
Back in the event meadow, brew your own bathtub gin. Steep your own bottle of vodka in the botanicals you’ve picked, to concoct your signature compound. Take tips from the ginmaster on the perfect blend.
Cocktail Making Competition
Compete in this evening’s cocktail competition. Create something special to share with the group. Will you go for a classic or a non-traditional gin mix? Are you a showboater or a subtle flavour wrangler?
Dining + Live Entertainment Throughout
Your specially selected dining courses will be served throughout, alongside live entertainment sessions and soundtracking!
