The Old Calf Shed
North Lonsdale Road
Ulverston
LA12 9AU
Cumbria’s award-winning distillery, Shed One launched in 2016 from a garden shed in Ulverston with their first creation, Cuckold’s Revenge!
As the range of small batch, botanical gins grew, the micro distillery outgrew the shed, but Zoe and Andy didn’t have to look far to find a new home for Shed One.
The Old Calf Shed on North Lonsdale Road was soon transformed into a distillery, and stunning shop, bar and visitor attraction, which opened to the public in 2019.
Using traditional botanicals and locally grown, foraged ingredients, Zoe, Andy and their small but perfectly formed team, create, distil, bottle, label, distribute and serve their award-winning selection of London Dry Gins, Liqueurs and Vodkas at the Old Calf Shed, where visitors enjoy,
- Make Your Own Spirit Experiences.
- Botanical-inspired Afternoon G&Teas.
- Distillery Tour & Tastings.
- Local artisan run workshops.
- And as a licensed venue, even get married!
This year they were awarded the Visit England's Award For Excellence; Best Visitor Experience, Silver, 2023 which hangs proudly in the wall alongside a whole host of other prestigious awards such as
- World Gin Awards
- World Liqueur Award
- The Gin Guide Awards
- Great Taste Awards
- The Gin Guide's Environmental Sustainability Winner: 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023
And as if creating wonderful spirits and liqueurs wasn’t enough, Zoe and Andy put the environment and community at the heart of everything they do, supporting local charities with their Marmalade Fund: where part of every sale from particular items is donated to charity.
So, if you haven’t paid them a visit yet, then you really should. Book an experience, enjoy a drink or two and buy a bottle to take home – you won’t be disappointed. And of course, don’t forget to tell them that thebestof sent you.
