Simon Picken, Co-founder of Shakespeare Distillery, said: “Reaching 10 years is a huge milestone for us, from our very first gin in 2015 to a growing range of award-winning spirits and experiences, we’ve come a long way.

"To this day we remain an independent family business, crafting beautiful spirits with passion – all within our own distillery. We are so grateful to our customers, visitors and the Stratford community for supporting our journey and this anniversary is as much about thanking our community as it is about marking our own success.

"We’re excited to welcome everyone to join us for a weekend of fun, tastings, and new releases — and, of course, to raise a toast to the next 10 years of distilling.”

Since its launch in 2015, Shakespeare Distillery has grown from a small start-up to an award-winning, carbon neutral producer of gin and rum, and a leading visitor attraction with Distillery Tours, Gin Schools, Rum Schools, Gin and Rum Tastings, Cocktail Masterclasses and Gin Tasting Cruises.

As strong supporters of local businesses, the team champions fellow producers by stocking local goods in their High Street shop and collaborating on unique products and events. Its products are inspired by the town’s rich heritage, with sustainability and community at the heart of its operations.
