Had a voucher for this. Went there today to find the place is empty. The owner has 'done a runner', owing rent to the property owners. DO NOT BOOK anything as you will be wasting your money

Me and the wife were not drinkers, however we went with friends in our motorhomes, and stayed on site, done the full package, lunch, dinner and even a breakfast, It was a great experience and very interesting, we both are now lovers of Gin, and me Rum also.

Probably the best Gin School experience. The depth of the information shared and the hands on activities are fab. Andrew knows his stuff. That is a fact. The introduction and history of Gin is excellent. The lunch is brilliant. The Gin School process is the best we have attended - we have done a few.

We are just back from our gin distilling day at The Old School. What a fantastic day we had. We arrived a bit early for the class and by 10.15 I had a glass of the distilleries wonderful Berries gin in my hand. Andrew gave an interesting and informative talk on the history of gin whilst letting us taste a selection of gins to further illustrate the differences. Fabulous! Lunch was amazing and delicious, all cooked on site by Marcy. The afternoon distilling our own bottle of gin was great fun and throughly enjoyable. And the gin samples just kept coming! Where else can you go and taste ‘test’ a variety of gins, have a stunning lunch in the company of lovely people and leave with a bottle of gin you have made yourself? A great day and well worth the money.

I want to know why school couldn’t have been like this before - might have concentrated more 🤣 We learnt all about the history of gin, the history of tonic, how gin is actually made and the rise of the popularity all delivered beautifully by Andrew. I could listen to him for hours. We then got to sample lots of gin! 😁 before putting our new found knowledge to the test. We got to make our own gin to our own flavours. Thankfully while it was ‘stewing’ they provided a much needed lunch which was beautifully cooked by Marcela which was a lifesaver. Back to our mixtures and we put it through the still, taking off the ‘head’ (my god that bits rough), before distilling the main part, checking for alcohol content and bottling, sealing and naming! Very happy with my creation - only time will tell what it actually tastes like but I have high expectations ☺️ The experience is 5 hours in total but it absolutely flew by and well worth every single penny. The best Gin experience I’ve ever done. Thank you team for an wonderful day and your hospitality throughout.

We spent an absolutely awesome day with Andrew and the team learning about the origins of gin and why the gin explosion in the UK took place along with 4 samples to enjoy. Totally fascinating stuff! The food served at lunchtime was incredible and complemented the Gin available from the large menu of bins from all over the UK and the world. After lunch it was time to distill our own special bottle of gin made with love and now awaiting our wedding anniversary to open and sample. What an incredible day and I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Don’t hesitate- book it and enjoy! Thank you to Andrew and the Gin Jamboree team for a fantastic day! Andy, Diane and Rach Foreman

We came on Saturday for the Gin School Masterclass which was excellent. Myself and a friend were celebrating joint 30th birthdays and wanted something different to do. Other plans meant that one of us couldn't drink alcohol and everyone was so accommodating so no-one felt left out. The history and background of "gin" was very interesting and Andrew is obviously very knowledgeable (and funny)! Then we went onto make the Gin was equally fun, and we are saving our bottle for a special occasion! The day included a beautiful lunch by the very talented Marcela (we even got her secret recipe the food was so delicious) and included numerous gins from a very large selection! The gin ting and cherry bakewell were delicious! Highly reccomend great value for money for a full fun day out! Thanks again Gin Jamboree, we will be back for sure :)

Great Gin experience. Could not recommend enough. Enjoyed every minute of the day. From the very beginning, when you are welcomed with a glass of gin to the very end when you leave with your creation in a bottle of gin. Andrew and his wife, the owners, are amazing and very warm people. They will welcome you with impressive knowledge , a great sense of humour, and absolutely amazing food. My husband and I enjoyed this experience so much that we are looking into booking another experience with Gin Jamboree, maybe whiskey one 😉
