We've got four incredible masterclasses lined up with some really exciting food producers who we have been working with over the last few years. Expect some tasty and truly exciting collaborations bringing real craftsmanship, quality and flavour. Each of these fine producers is also exhibiting on the day, showcasing their wares from their own stands.
Please note that the masterclasses are an additional cost and are not included in the entry ticket price. An Open Day entry ticket is required to attend these classes. Each masterclass is £10 per person and can be purchased online in advance or on the day at £12.50. We expect them to be very popular so pre-booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
As always, the Pot Still Coffee Shop will be open serving hot drinks and delicious cakes.
Also feeding us throughout the day we have Field & Forage, a Yorkshire based food producer who is just as passionate about quality and provenance as we are. Having always been enthusiastic about the way in which food and seasonal ingredients were prepared and cooked, Field & Forage was launched in 2016. Using their own grass-fed Belted Galloway beef, a kitchen garden brimming with ingredients and the seasonality of the farm's hedgerows, inspiration truly comes from the seasons. We’re hungry just at the thought!
Watering us (!) will of course be our sister company, Wold Top Brewery with their beer van. Whisky, whisky cocktails, soft drinks and more will also be available. They have recently converted one of their vans into a mobile bar. The Beer Van has fonts at the rear where they serve 3 kegged Wold Top beers on draught, plus the core range of beers in bottles too.
As you can see we've got lots going on! For more updates and to make sure you don't miss anything, please sign up to our mailing list newsletter and/or keep checking back on this page.
As mentioned above, the masterclasses are an additional cost and are not included in the entry ticket price. An Open Day entry ticket is required to attend these classes.

Children under the age of 6 qualify for free entry, but unfortunately cannot participate in the distillery tour.
There are certain parts of the distillery that are not suitable for wheelchairs or mobility scooters.
