About this space

The Distillery is a converted industrial-style venue defined by exposed timber beams, high ceilings and an open-plan layout that concentrates activity in a single adaptable space.

Design: The interior pairs reclaimed wide-plank floors and exposed brick with painted timber joinery, large industrial windows and suspended pendant lighting, creating a bright, uncluttered working space.

Features: A long staffed bar and built-in shelving occupy one side of the main room, leaving an open, flexible floor area. The venue provides Wi-Fi, a PA system and speakers, and permits own music subject to a noise restriction. The entrance is step-free and the space is wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Hosts seeking a relaxed, social drinks-led reception or an informal seated dinner will suit the space's open-plan flexibility.

What sets it apart: An on-site gin distillery delivers guided tastings and distillation demonstrations led by the venue's distillers.

What guests say: The venue is a beautiful gin distillery with a highly regarded gin bar. The distilling experience is innovative and run by professional distillers.
