Stratford-upon-Avon’s Shakespeare Distillery is marking a decade of distilling excellence with a special 10th anniversary weekend on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 October 2025. The festivities will take place at the distillery’s town centre shop at 1 High Street, and the public is invited to join in the celebrations.
Highlights of the weekend include:
Celebratory Gin & Glass: A limited-edition Stratford Gin and commemorative tumbler, available in-store and online.
Two New Spirits: Launch of Stratford Zero, the distillery’s first 0% ABV gin, and a Pinot Noir Gin in collaboration with Stratford-based Welcombe Hills Vineyard.
Exclusive Discounts: 10% off all products, plus an extra 5% for newsletter subscribers and weekend experience attendees.
Free Tastings & Cocktail Demos: Visitors can tour Judith’s Tasting Room & Rum School, sample new releases, and enjoy complimentary cocktails.
£10 Distillery Tours: Special discounted tours to celebrate 10 years (valid October 2025 – March 2026).
Prize Draw: Customers spending over £30 enter a raffle for gin and rum experiences, including one grand prize of a year’s supply of spirits.
Co-founder Simon Picken said:
“Reaching 10 years is a huge milestone for us. From our first gin in 2015 to our growing range of award-winning spirits, we’ve come a long way. This anniversary is as much about thanking our community as celebrating our own success. We look forward to welcoming everyone for a weekend of tastings, new releases, and toasting the next 10 years of distilling.”
Since its founding in 2015, Shakespeare Distillery has evolved from a small start-up into a carbon-neutral, award-winning producer of gin and rum, while also becoming a leading visitor attraction. Its offerings include Distillery Tours, Gin and Rum Schools, Tastings, Cocktail Masterclasses, and Gin Cruises. The distillery champions local businesses, stocks local products, and draws inspiration from Stratford’s rich heritage, all while placing sustainability and community at the heart of its operations.
