★★★

After the great success of our first full moon viewing and sake evening in the Japanese garden,　we’ve decided to hold another event on Saturday evening, 21st August from 19:00 pm till late for 40 guests.     

We are changing the format of the evening slightly to allow our guests to interact more and enjoy the ambience in our stunning event hall, kitchen garden terrace and Japanese garden.

The evening programme will run as follows:-

7:00 pm – Event hall bar opens serving a variety of beers and wines.
7:30 pm – Tasting of two of our sakes and talk on sake culture from our brewer.
8:00 pm – Japanese food is served to enjoy in the event hall or kitchen garden terrace.
9:30 pm – Guests are invited to gather in the Japanese garden to enjoy a warm cup of our amazake, made with koji rice produced by our brewers. Amazake has been a popular health drink in Japan for centuries. Sip and enjoy this unique and rejuvenating drink while waiting for the moon to rise!
10:30 pm – last orders at the event hall bar.

Throughout the evening guests are free to congregate anywhere they please in our candlelit kitchen garden or magical Japanese garden.

£40 per person (non-members)
£30 per person (members)

Numbers are strictly limited to 40 and they will go fast so don’t hesitate to sign up here as quickly as possible!

We are holding this sake soirée to celebrate August’s full Moon which was traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon because the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this part of summer. Tsukimi (月見) as it is called, is the ancient Japanese tradition of moon viewing and has a long history going back some 1000 years.

We look forward to seeing you under the stars and the moon!

Note: Free parking is available at the brewery. Please bring a blanket or warm clothes in case it is a bit chilly.
