What a wonderful surprise visit today from Eileen and Sharon of Ad Gefrin—the extraordinary new visitor hub in Wooler Home to Northumberland’s first distillery in over two centuries, Ad Gefrin offers so much more than just fine whisky. From immersive tours of their state-of-the-art distillery and engaging Anglo-Saxon museum exhibits, to lively events, a mouthwatering bistro, and a beautifully curated gift shop, it’s a must-visit destination that captures both the region’s spirit and its stories.

Eileen and Sharon spent hours with us at the THH Studio, savouring the artwork on display. Even more exciting, they’ve joined us in supporting our charitable efforts—partnering up through our ‘Leaving Footsteps’ program to raise much-needed funds for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and local Northumbria hospices. It’s moments like these—when art connects collectors to meaningful causes—that make all the hard work worthwhile.

So, when you have the chance, treat yourself to a day at Ad Gefrin. It’s not just another stop on your travels; it’s a journey through heritage, craft, and culture that will leave you inspired.
