Our 6-metre Yule Goat returns.

From 27–29 November, Ad Gefrin comes alive with the sights and sounds of the festive season.

It begins with a candlelit parade through Wooler, bringing together local choirs, pipers, schoolchildren and businesses, with a special appearance from St Nicholas.

The fun continues with The Gaderung. More than a Christmas market, it's a celebration of Northumberland's culture, creativity and heritage.

Discover local makers, bakers and distillers throughout the building and in our heated marquee. Alongside the stalls, experience Anglo-Saxon storytelling, guided wh**ky tastings and live musical performances.

There's something special about autumn in Northumberland.

As the Cheviots turn golden and the air grows crisp, the countryside reveals a different kind of beauty.

Inspired by the season, The Gylden brings together the comforting warmth of Tácnbora, tea and pumpkin spice with the freshness of lemon and Cava.

Available to enjoy in our Bēodern bistro.

24/10/2026

A centuries-old tradition at England’s most northerly wh**ky distillery.

Last week, we welcomed the Worshipful Company of Distillers for a ceremonial inspection.

Founded by Royal Charter in 1638, the Company gained powers to regulate distilling around the City of London. Their visit brought this historic practice some 300 miles beyond its original boundaries to Wooler.

Here, the Company reviewed our production practices and sampled our spirit. Following the inspection, we were presented with a formal certificate confirming that we meet their standards.

A proud moment for our team to receive recognition from one of the oldest institutions in the spirits trade.

Each cask carries something of its previous life, creating new possibilities as it meets the wh**ky.

For this latest release, our standard bearer has spent nine months finishing in Oloroso Hogshead.

With roots in southern Spain, these casks hold layers of dried fruit, nuttiness and spice. Already part of the original Tácnbora’s maturation story, this dedicated finish allows us to explore that influence further.

Bottled at 57.2% ABV, our new Limited Edition is available to purchase from today.

What makes the North East so special?

The people.

It’s something we heard time and again from last year’s Tácnbora Tour and Awards participants. The kindness, hard work and generosity that shape our region.

Nominations are now open for the 2027 awards until 2 November.

If you know an individual or community group making a difference, help us share their story.

Who is your community’s Standard Bearer?

Nominations open today for our second Tácnbora Tour and Awards, celebrating the people and groups who make a difference across the North East.

Tácnbora means ‘Standard Bearer’ in Old English, and we’re looking for those who carry that spirit into their communities today. The person who always brings people together, the volunteers who keep a much-loved group going, or someone whose kindness makes life a little better for others.

Following the inspiring stories shared during our first Tour, we’re ready to discover more of the people who make our region special. The 2027 awards will recognise both an individual and a community group for their contribution.

If someone comes to mind, help us tell their story. Nominate your community’s Standard Bearer and give them the recognition they deserve.

Find out more and nominate: https://adgefrin.co.uk/whats-on/tacnbora-tour

Nominations close on the 2nd November.
