Educational visits are suitable for students aged over 14 and can provide valuable information for those studying biology (particularly micro-biology or fermentation), business studies, tourism, marketing, history and geography. 

As part of the Brewery’s commitment towards responsible retailing and education, we include a short presentation on sensible drinking following the tour. It is also usually possible to arrange a questionand answer session to enable students to find out more about those subject areas most relevant to their course.  In addition, information packs are available after the tour to teachers, summarising the main points of the visit and providing additional material for follow-up work.

Those students aged 18 and over can taste some of the ales and lagers (please note our staff will ask for ID), while soft drinks will be provided for those aged 14 – 17. 

Tours commence from the Visitor Centre - 10 Court Street - and are available during the day on Mondays to Friday - advance booking is essential.
