Friday, 1st August marks National Distillery Day, a nationwide celebration of real, independent distilleries. It’s about shining a spotlight on authentic craft — where spirits are distilled, bottled and brought to life on-site, with complete transparency.
At The Spirit of Manchester Distillery, we’re proud to be part of this movement. To mark the day, we’re throwing open our doors and inviting you to see how we create our award-winning gin, whisky, rum and vodka right here in the heart of the city.
Free Tours and G&Ts
From 12pm to 4pm on Friday, we’ll be running free distillery tours on the hour, every hour. Walk in, grab a spot, and enjoy a complimentary G&T as you’re guided through our distillation process from botanicals to bottle.
It’s a chance to see behind the glass arches, meet our team, and discover what goes into every spirit we produce.
Why National Distillery Day Matters
National Distillery Day is about celebrating the craft and dedication behind small, independent distilleries. It’s an opportunity to connect with your local makers, taste something new, and learn how spirits are created.
The Actually Made In team will be spotlighting distilleries across the country, so keep an eye on their socials to see who else is involved.
