Canterbury’s Botanicals Tour: from Garden to Glass
Canterbury Cathedral recently worked with Canterbury’s Foundry Brewery to create a gin flavoured with herbs found in the Cathedral Herb Garden. Trace the route from garden to glass on this special tour!
Discover the Cathedral's gardens on a guided tour led by a member of our senior gardening team. Learn how the gardens were used by the Benedictine monks who lived in the monastery here during the middle ages, growing their own food and even brewing their own beer on site.
Then follow the route the herbs took to the glass, on a tour of the Foundry, where Jon - brewer, distiller and Founder - will explain the whole brewing and distilling process.
This is a very interactive experience - everyone is welcome to ask questions, and the tour includes gin and tonic tasting.
£60 per person. Over 18s only.
More dates to be added soon...
