SUMMARY:For England and St George - An Evening of English Whisky
DESCRIPTION:Once a year\, founder Laurence Conisbee opens the doors to Wharf Distillery for an evening of English whisky. With a crafted welcome drink in hand\, guests gather as Laurence begins to unravel the tale of Wharf — its quiet beginnings\, its unlikely breakthroughs\, and the philosophy that shaped every drop produced within these walls.\nAs the group moves deeper into the distillery Velocity and Mari come into view — the two stills that have become characters in Wharf’s journey as much as tools of the craft. Laurence guides you through the spaces where ideas were tested\, risks were taken\, and the identity of modern English whisky was forged. \nThe evening unfolds as a conversation rather than a lecture. Laurence shares the nuances of small‑batch production\, the decisions that define English whisky\, and the subtle contrasts that set it apart from its Scotch and international cousins. Guests are invited to taste\, question\, and follow the narrative as it reveals itself — with a few unexpected moments woven in to make this annual gathering feel truly unforgettable. \nWhat’s included\nYour experience begins with a crafted welcome drink\, with an additional five tasting pours presented over the course of the evening\, complemented by an assortment of artisan cheeses and crackers. \nThe distillery bar will remain open after the main event should you wish to stay for further drinks and conversation with Laurence. \nItinerary:\n– Welcome drink\n– The story of Wharf Distillery (2nd taster)\n– Introduction to English Whisky (3rd taster)\n– A tour of our Still Room (4th taster)\n– The English Whisky Revival (5th Taster)\n– Q&A (6th taster) \nHighlights:\nSavour an evening of rare privilege as founder Laurence Conisbee opens the doors to Wharf Distillery for an experience usually reserved for insiders. Guests are welcomed with an impeccably crafted signature serve before being escorted into the distillery’s inner sanctum for a deeply personal exploration of its heritage\, philosophy\, and quietly influential role in English whisky.\nMove through the production spaces as Laurence introduces Velocity and Mari\, the stills that define Wharf’s uncompromising small‑batch artistry. This is a chance to witness the craft at its most authentic: the decisions\, the discipline\, and the quiet innovation that have shaped Wharf’s reputation among those who know. \nThroughout the evening\, guests are invited to engage in conversation\, taste with intention\, and immerse themselves in the nuances that distinguish English whisky on the world stage. This is not simply a tour\, it is an invitation into the distillery’s inner circle\, offered just once a year to those who appreciate craftsmanship at its most refined.

SUMMARY:Naseby Battlefield Tour
DESCRIPTION:The best way to truly understand a battle is to walk in the footsteps of those who took part. Our tours follow those footsteps and give you unique access. The Naseby Battlefield Project offers public tours of Naseby Battlefield eight times a year. \nThese tours are often enriched by friends and supporting reenactor groups bringing key-aspects of the story to life on the actual battlefield. You will be surprised who you might meet. \nThe prices for public tours start at £25.00 per person. For this price we include our specially commissioned\, and highly rated Battlefield Maps & Interpretation Booklets – which are exclusive to Battlefield Tourists. To make sure that these are available we ask for you to pre-book the Battlefield Tours. We are sorry but we cannot accept visitors on the day. \nWe limit our group sizes to around 20 people. \nPlease note: The full tour lasts about 4 hours\, and will take you across the entire battlefield\, and extends to several miles. Public Tours offer some seats in a shared mini-bus\, but some of you might prefer to use your own cars. Either way we will need vehicles to get across the whole battlefield. \nRegrettably\, dogs are not allowed on our tours as some of it involves walking through working farmland. \nTo keep up to date with Naseby Battlefield Project news and battlefield tour dates visit out Facebook page or email us at enquiries@naseby.com
