| Still on the move |
|
Please meet Still on the Move and ‘Ginny’, a 1973 VW Pickup, rescued, lovingly restored and put back to work. The result? Still on the Move was born. With this unique vehicle, Still On The Move can travel anywhere in the UK to create your very own bespoke gin, flavoured with your choice of a variety of spices and botanicals. She creates unique gins for any event - weddings, corporate events and private parties - as well as 'house gins' for bars, pubs and restaurants.
The Still On the Move service can create your Gin or Rum on site using their mobile still “Prosperity” which is loaded on the back of a 1973 VW Van “Ginny”. You can even have a special Gin-creations event to drum up interest.
Alternatively, you might want to attend a Gin Experience at The Cider Press Centre. One session allows two people sharing one still. Choose your own botanical blend and be guided through making your own unique gin. You may even want to design your own personal label and place on your 35cl bottle.
