Q: Is the distillery bar wheelchair accessible?
A: Our distillery is wheelchair accessible but please do let us know before booking if you require wheelchair access, or have any other specific requirements, so we can accommodate your requirements and make your experience with us as enjoyable as possible. Our distillery is limited on space too so we will need to make amendments to the seating arrangements/capacity.
Our upstairs event space though, is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible as it is accessed via stairs from the Ground Floor up to the First Floor. If you are booking an event and have any specific requirements for mobility and access, please get in touch before booknig so that we can assist you and let you know of any restrictions.
