Step inside an independent gin laboratory in the heart of Frome and create a bespoke bottle of gin inspired entirely by your own taste.
This experience is part of City Uncovered: Bath, taking place from 1st–14th June 2026 — a limited-time series of unique, under-the-radar experiences designed to help you see the city differently.
Hosted by award-winning distillers Still Life Gin, this hands-on experience takes you beyond the bar and into the fascinating world of botanical blending and small-batch gin making.
Inside the hidden gin laboratory on Frome’s creative Catherine Hill, you’ll be guided through the art of flavour discovery, sampling a wide range of botanical distillates and learning how different ingredients shape the character of a gin. With expert guidance throughout, you’ll experiment with combinations, refine your palate and develop your own unique recipe tailored to your tastes.
Once you’ve perfected your blend, you’ll create, bottle and label your very own bespoke gin to take home — a completely personal spirit inspired by your discoveries throughout the session. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about the distillery, the science behind gin making and the creative process behind crafting distinctive flavours.
Expect curious aromas, creative experimentation and a completely different way to experience the independent spirit scene just beyond Bath.

Great birthday present for my husband. He had a great time and we have enjoyed tasting the gin with our family!
A fun and educational evening blending our own gin. A very different experience and a great present for a gin lover. Plenty of gin tasted during the evening, including our own blend. And of course our own bespoke bottle to take home with us.
This was a truly unique experience learning about how gin is made and then having the opportunity to make you own blend of gin using a large variety of botanicals.
The host Dion, was fantastic: very knowledgeable giving great advice and guidance on creating your own perfect gin. Highly recommend this experience!!

Fantastic, Dion (our host) was absolutely brilliant and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Highly recommended.
This was so much fun! Great gift for gin lovers!
Beautiful space and really interesting experience - learnt lots and got to take away my own craft gin! Would do again and not drive so I could try their own blends
Fantastic experience with a patient and knowledgeable host. Whole place felt like a fun science experiment with the right amount of alcohol! Looking forward to sharing my creation with a few friends when I get the chance, would 100% recommend!
My Husband (Steve Barker) booked the gin experience for myself and a friend as a birthday present. It was great fun and we didn't feel rushed at all, in fact we felt welcomed and learnt so much about the whole gin process as well as going home with our very own concoction to share with other friends. A really great experience and I would highly recommend it. Thank you Heather Barker
what an amazing evening! Superb host, great fun and we will go again.
Dion was great, very friendly and informative. We enjoyed the evening immensely.
Really interesting and relaxed. The guy who hosted us knew a lot of knowledge and was a really chill and enjoyable day.
We had a fantastic session and really enjoyed the event. Would certainly recommend to gin enthusiasts.
We had a fantastic time blending our own gin, we really enjoyed learning about the distilling process and having the opportunity to choose our own botanicals. It was a very personal experience, our hosts were great and know their stuff! We would definitely recommend this experience to a friend! P.s. their gin is delicious!
