First look: Sheffield Dry Gin’s New Gin Making Experience

The vibe is relaxed, the host is engaging, and the drinks are aplenty. After 5 years of hosting Sheffield's first Gin School, the team behind Sheffield Dry Gin have been hard at work to refurb the premises that the experience takes place within, aptly named the Sheffield Dry Gin emporium.


In a very speakeasy nature, you enter the Sheffield School of Gin via a quaint black door on Eldon Street. The space includes a distillery area where guests make their own gin, a tasting bar for up to 10 guests, a darts board and a record player.


Having been located in the city centre and delivering a Gin School for some time, this new, interactive experience allows customers to produce their own craft distilled gin in beautiful copper pot stills in a fun and relaxing space.



Paired with like-minded gin enthusiasts, the host will take you on a journey of discovery into botanicals and how they're best used as you try your hand at being a distiller for the afternoon.


There are hundreds of botanical ingredients that can be used in making gin. Each gin has its own secret recipe and most recipes contain no less than four and no more than twelve botanicals. The only legally required botanical is juniper berries and this should be the predominant flavour. Other botanicals fall into different groups such as spicy, floral or herbal.


Not forgetting the history of gin, where the school promises not to go over the years with a fine-tooth comb, instead, only the milestones and interesting facts will be picked out to ensure you have plenty of time to make your own gin from scratch.

The session lasts approximately 3 hours, during which time you will receive a Sheffield Dry Gin and Franklin & Sons tonic, a couple of gin cocktails, and finishes with the Curators' choice cocktail at The Old House.


The Sheffield School of Gin experience takes place at 47 Eldon Street, Sheffield, S1 4GY. It's priced at £70 per person and if you love gin, this experience is the perfect way to discover more about it, whilst making your own to take home. Tickets are issued with a 12 month expiry date from the date of purchase. You can even purchase a ticket as a gift and the recipient can arrange their chosen session directly.

go888 dạo này mình thấy nhiều người nhắc nên tò mò vào lướt thử cho biết thôi. Mình không phải kiểu ngồi chơi lâu, chủ yếu xem giao diện với cách họ sắp xếp nội dung có dễ hiểu không. Vào cái là thấy bố cục khá gọn, nhìn phát biết chỗ nào là phần thông tin chung, chỗ nào là khu giải trí, không bị nhồi chữ loạn mắt. Điểm mình để ý nhất là tải trang nhanh thật, bấm qua lại mấy mục gần như không phải đợi, mạng mình cũng bình thường chứ không xịn. Nói chung cảm giác họ tối ưu phần hiển thị ổn, danh mục chia rõ nên kéo một đoạn là nắm được…

rocket goal is an exciting sports game where driving rocket-powered cars and scoring goals feels incredibly intense. The fast-paced matches and aerial moves make rocket goal super engaging!

What an exciting opportunity to learn about gin making! I remember my first distillery visit; it opened my eyes to the craft. Have you tried out any fun free games inspired by mixology in your downtime?

Being able to explore botanicals, understand the distilling process Fnaf, and create something unique to take home makes it a memorable way to connect with Sheffield’s local craft drink scene.

The idea of making my own gin in copper pot stills and learning about hundreds of botanicals sounds fantastic, though I’d probably feel like a clumsy electric man trying to be a master distiller at first!
