GIN SCHOOL FAQ'S
See below a list of frequently asked questions for our Gin School...
Q: How much are tickets?
We offer two types of tickets for our Gin School. For £90, you'll get a still all to yourself and you'll create your very own bottle of gin. Or, for £130, you can share the experience with someone else (a friend / family member?!) and between you, you'll get to create your own bottle of gin together.
Q: Do I need to bring my ticket with me?
A: No, there is no need to print off a ticket for our Gin School. Please just bring proof of purchase on your mobile device.
Q: I am driving / I don't drink - do I have to drink gin?
A: No, we definitely wouldn't recommend partaking in our Gin School if you are driving. We suggest you leave your car at home when joining us for one of our events.
If you are driving, or if you would prefer not to drink, we can provide soft drinks instead - please inform us when booking as we do not operate as a fully stocked bar but can accommodate your requirements if possible.
Q: I really don't like tonic, can I have lemonade instead?
A: Yes of course, just let us know your preference on arrival.
Q: Are children allowed to come to the Gin School?
A: No, unfortunately not. All attendees must be 18 or over.
Q: Will I need ID?
A: If you are lucky enough to look under 25, please be prepared to show ID on arrival.
Q: Can I book as a stag / hen party / group booking?
