About this space

The Unexpected Guest Distillery is a small craft distillery venue defined by an intimate, retro-inflected interior that foregrounds timber surfaces and warm lighting.

Design: The interior pairs painted brick and timber surfaces with mid-century modern accents and colourful vintage decorative pieces. The lighting is warm and low, producing a compact, intimate atmosphere throughout the space.

Features: The venue provides an in-house PA and speakers and allows organisers to bring their own DJ or play their own music. The space includes a dedicated dance floor, guest Wi-Fi, a step-free entrance and accessible toilets for wheelchair users.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, music-centred standing reception with space to dance and mingle.
