Before you visit
How do I book a tour?
The quickest way is to book online using the booking panel on this page. You can also call the Taproom on 01900 397753 during opening hours, or email taproom@jenningsbrewery.co.uk.
What is the minimum age for the tour?
Tours are open to guests aged 12 and over. Visitors aged 12 to 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
Is the tour suitable for everyone?
The tour involves open staircases, several levels and a fair amount of climbing, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs or those with limited mobility. Please wear flat, closed shoes; the building is old and can be cold in winter.
Any health or allergy notes?
The whole site is strictly nut free. As the tour goes into an active brewery, please do not attend if you have had sickness or diarrhoea in the last 48 hours; you will be asked to sign a short health declaration.
Can I bring my dog?
Registered assistance dogs are welcome, just let us know in advance. Other pets cannot join the tour.
Can I eat or drink during the tour?
Food and drink are not consumed during the tour. You use your tokens in the taproom afterwards.
