3. Gin Evening

The team said: "Come and experience the unique atmosphere of East Chase Distillery at East Chase Farm in Kenilworth. Every Friday, we open our doors at 4pm to guests who are interested in sampling our gin, right where it is produced. You can even sample the new flavours that are about to be released.

"Indulge in an afternoon or evening of drinks, surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Warwickshire. If you are not a gin fan we have beer, cider, wine and soft drinks.
