Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update
We have made the heart-breaking decision to close The Lakes Distillery to visitors, suspending tours and temporarily closing the doors of our Bistro.
We would like to assure you that any booking made can be rescheduled and we are still accepting tour & Bistro bookings for future dates. If you do have a booking arranged in the coming weeks, please contact us on info@lakesdistillery.com or 01768 788850 to discuss rescheduling.
The online shop will continue to operate with home delivery for as long as we are allowed to do so. You can order online here.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
