English Whisky Festival 2025

English Whisky is now 20 years old, and one of the fastest growing categories of whisky worldwide. Come and experience the breadth & depth of this innovative and exciting whisky scene on one day only. From the largest, to the smallest distilleries, from Northumberland to Cornwall, Cumbria to Kent, we've got brands from acros England all under one roof for you to try. Sample their wares (included in the ticket price), hear their fascinating stories and - if you love what you've tried - grab a bottle or two from the on-site whisky shop before you head home.

In it's 4th year, this is the only all-English whisky event - a true celebration of a category that punches well above it's weight in terms of quality, awards and general recognition across the industry. But fear not if you're new to English Whisky, everyone is welcome and you don't need to know anything - just come with a curious mind and a thirst for some of the best whiskies available in the world right now.

Plus our legendary street food vendors with delicious meals to sate your appetite (and line the stomach).
