Huge thanks to The Distillery Gin Parlour! We can’t thank the team at The Distillery Gin Parlour enough for stepping in at the very last minute to rescue our gig after our original venue fell through just three days before the show. From the moment we got in touch, they were so easy to deal with — friendly, flexible and totally professional. The venue itself is warm, welcoming and full of character, and the atmosphere on the night was absolutely brilliant. Everything ran smoothly, the staff were fantastic, and our audience loved it. We couldn’t have asked for better support or a better space — thank you so much to everyone at The Distillery Gin Parlour for turning a stressful situation into such a great success! 🙌🎶
