On Thursday 30th October 2025, we're extremely happy to be able to welcome you to the distillery for a special night of live music as we host Scott Poley and Joe Topping.
A mixture of Folk, Roots, and Blues from these two amazing multi-instrumentalists. Scott Poley discovered a passion for Country Music at an early age and has played with top British musicians including Cara Luft (The Wailin’ Jenny’s) and John ‘Rabbit’ Bundrick (The Who / Free). He’s also the musical director for the Rumours Of Fleetwood Mac touring show. Joe Topping has been described as 'a cross between Ry Cooder, Woody Guthrie, and Paul Brady.’ He has toured with Ashley Hutchings’s Rainbow Chasers and has appeared on TV in The Voice. See them in action HERE.
From 6:00pm* where you will be able to taste some of our award-winning spirits & order from a selection of pizzas and other food from the café until 7pm.
