Flowers? Meh. Chocolates? Seen it. Cards? Yawn.
This Mother’s Day, give Mum something she’ll actually remember – and yes, it involves a few drinks. At Shakespeare Distillery, we turn experiences into stories worth retelling (usually starting with “Remember when you…?” and ending in laughter).
Stuck for ideas – no problem, just read on!
Memories beat material things
Mum doesn’t need another candle or a pair of emergency “nice” socks. What she really wants is time with you, a bit of indulgence, a chance to relax, laugh, and maybe discover a new favourite tipple. Experiences beat stuff every time – because you can’t frame a scented candle, but you can raise a glass to a brilliant afternoon together.
And that’s where we come in.
Gin School: the best kind of school
Our Gin School is all about putting Mum in charge of her very own still and creating her own gin recipe. Head to our distillery and you’ll:
- Craft a bespoke gin using botanicals of your choice
- Learn the art (and science) behind distillation
- Enjoy tastings and drinks throughout the experience
- Take home your very own personalised bottle
It’s hands-on, great fun, and just the right amount of competitive when someone gets a little too confident with the spice jars…
The best bit? Every time she pours a glass at home, she can say, “I made this.”
Even better, we still have some Gin School spaces left on Mothering Sunday! Click here to grab your space.
Gin & Rum Tastings at Judith’s
Not feeling quite so hands-on? Let Mum sit back and be entertained instead, with a drink in hand.
Our Gin and Rum Tastings at Judith’s offer a relaxed, guided experience where you can try our spirits, learn how we make them, and discover a new favourite. Just good spirits and great company — exactly as it should be.
You can view our Tasting and other experience dates and book here.
A cheeky £10 Distillery Tour (but be quick)

- Enjoy a guided tasting AND a G&T or Rum & Mixer of choice to finish off
It’s proof that you don’t have to spend a fortune to give a gift that feels special. Click here to book in!
Personalised Gin or Rum: a bottle with her name on it
Still want something to wrap? We’ve got you covered.
Our personalised gin and rum options let you add that extra thoughtful touch — whether it’s a name, a heartfelt message, or something a little cheekier (we’ll leave that up to you).

Why this beats flowers
Here’s the simple truth: flowers wilt, chocolates disappear, and cards get tucked in a drawer. So this Mother’s Day, skip the predictable. At Shakespeare Distillery, it’s all about shared experiences, a little cheeky mischief, and memories you’ll actually talk about long after the last sip!
