Frome’s first gin school opens!

FROME’S first ever gin school is now open!

The gin school has been opened by local gin distillery, Still Sisters, which opened in 2020. 

Owner Tori said, “We’re so excited to be launching our gin school, it’s the perfect opportunity to come and learn about the process, it’s a real hands-on experience and so much fun!’  

“We initially wanted to launch as a gin school, but it’s been a bit of a challenging couple of years. Opening a gin bar in 2020 came with many setbacks, but at last we are here and we can’t wait to start welcoming people back to school!’  

At the school, you learn how the Still Sisters make their gin, hear a bit of history about gin, and also learn how to distil and produce your own gin using Still Sister’s handmade, Portuguese 2.5 litre copper stills.  

You will be able to select from a range of over 45 botanicals, from seaweed to local honey, whilst sampling the award-winning range of Still Sisters gins and enjoying a delicious cheese and charcuterie board.  

At the end of the session, you’ll be able to sample the gin you have made and receive a 70cl bottle of your gin to take home.  

Still Sisters opened its gin distillery bar in 2020, distilling a range of gins. Where possible, the sisters source ingredients for their gin from local farms. Their bestselling/award-winning signature gin uses John Hurd’s organic watercress grown in Longbridge Deverill, a few miles outside Frome. 

Still Sisters bar is located at 2 Ashton Park, Handlemaker Road next to Tool Station and is open from 10am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and 12pm to 6pm on Saturday.
