Finish off the experience with a visit to their shop, where you can stock up on your favourite tipple.

Woodforde’s was started by good friends Ray Ashworth and Dr David Crease, who were tired of drinking the same old beers and thought they could brew something better themselves. With a passion for homebrewing, they became part of a new-wave revolution, handcrafting their own beers in the 1960s. Woodforde’s grew at record speeds, through trial and error, hard work, ingenuity and by using water from their own boreholes and local barley, they won CAMRA’s 1990 ‘New Breweries Champion Beer of Britain’ award for the Wherry pint, which they are still famous for today.

Dedicated and passionate about making great beer, Woodforde’s Brewery has won over 130 awards and is one of the region’s most well-known and loved beer producers.
