Skegness Distillery

Skegness Distillery was established in 2019 by former Marketing & Design Agency professional, Richard Longworth. Located 500m from the beach at Skegness, the distillery is home to a 300L copper pot still, gin school, bar, events area and shop. The distillery produces gins, rums and liqueurs under multiple brands, including Stonewall LGBTQ+ Gin which retells the story of the 1969 Stonewall Riots and donates a percentage of proceeds to LGBTQ+ charities.

The Gin Guide Review: Stonewall Gin is a flavoursome and well-balance gin with distinctive notes of citrus, blueberries, sea buckthorn and cardamom, built around a classic core of botanicals. The citrus is fruity and subtly sweet, the blueberries and sea buckthorn add a touch of tart berry zing, and underlying cardamom and earthy spices provide depth throughout. With Tonic Water the character of the blueberries and cardamom are elevated for a flavoursome G&T with a classic core. - Paul Jackson, 2022

Meet the Makers

"First came the brand idea and the recipe, which we had contracted to produce, then once we’d proved the brand 'had legs' I wanted to take more control over the process and create a visitor attraction so I purchased a building on the coast and built a distillery. How I wish it was as simple as that sounds!" - Founder, Richard Longworth
