Gin Experiences at Shed One Distillery

As seen on TV!

Welcome to Shed One Distillery and Visitor Centre. We’re situated on the outskirts of the Lake District, in the lovely market town of Ulverston, Cumbria. Who are we? Husband and wife team, Andy and Zoe Arnold-Bennett. We launched Shed One Distillery in October, 2016, from our 7x7 foot garden shed.

Three years later we moved the gin distillery to our new premises, just a stone’s throw away. This gave us enough space for a Visitor Centre. Here, you can join us on a Tour of our Gin Distillery with Gin Tastings. Our Make Your Own Gin Experience won Silver at Visit England's Excellence Awards.

If you’re interested in making your own gin you can! We were the first gin distillery in Cumbria and the Lake District to offer Make Your Own Gin or Botanical Spirit experiences. Our Make Your Own Gin Experience won Silver at Visit England's Excellence Awards.

There's also plenty of car parking space and we're wheelchair-friendly throughout. Please note: all experiences must be booked. Experiences are hosted by us, the owners and distillers. You can find out more about our Gin Experiences by clicking on the links above (and at the bottom of the page).

Shed One Afternoon Tea with Tour
Afternoon G&Tea

Do you like sweet treats with your gin? We’ve created a botanical-inspired Afternoon G&Tea made up of scones, savoury bites and sweet treats that include some of the botanicals we use in our gin and spirit making. For example, our Chocolate Cake includes cardamom, chilli and orange, all found in our Chilli Fest Gin.

Our ginger shortbread is covered with an elderflower topping; ginger and elderflower are botanicals found in our Fancy Frolic Gin. Zoe also makes her own Lemon and Lime Curd for the mini meringue tarts. The whole afternoon tea is gluten free. Zoe tweaks and updates the menu seasonally and as ginspiration strikes!

As for our Scones, they have a juniper glaze brushed over the top which gives a lovely, ginny taste.

The delicious loose leaf teas and coffees are supplied by Kendal's award-winning Penningtons Coffee Roasters and Tea Merchants who ethically source their coffee.
