Making our own Gin - Ruby's Ruin
Everything about our visit to the Shakespeare distillery was brilliant. Every member of staff had a brilliant attitude and obviously loved their job. Making the gin was a great experience and, having given it the recommended two weeks, the gin tastes brilliant and different. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. One tip though, get a taxi - you won't want to drive!!

Even better than we expected!
Myself and a friend visited the distillery last month and were so impressed! The team were so lovely and entertaining, the gin kept on coming and we took so much home with us too - not to mention what we picked up in the gift shop at the end after many gins! I’ve recommended friends come here since - it would be a great activity for a hen do! :)

Simply brilliant. Hugely recommend.
The Shakespeare Distillery Gin School was well worth the wait (having had to rearrange due to lockdown). The experience was brilliant fun for the entire three hours, really informative, and the whole team were great. With the gin we made stowed away in our bags, we’ll keep enjoying this experience for weeks to come! A brilliant gift, and great value for money - would strongly recommend!

Enjoyable experience
Really good day, very informative and enjoyable. The staff were very helpful and spent time with you to explain about getting the best flavours in the gin. Gin sampling good and you come away with a lovely gift boxed bottle of your own gin

Absolutely gin-tastic experience!
Was bought the gin school experience as a birthday present and it is without the best present I've had. Fantastic day at Shakespeare Distillery. Really friendly, knowledgeable, helpful guys. Made us feel very welcome on arrival and all throughout our experience. Was surprised how much gin we made and were allowed to bring home with us and all the little extras like naming it ourselves to the gift box it was finished with. We'll worth it if you're a gin fan.

So. Much. Gin.
An amazing experience. They made it fun and informative and the copious amounts of gin were definitely worth it. I'd happily do it again as I'd love to make another gin.
