While production of Bombay Sapphire gin continues as normal, the distillery experience is closed until 22nd December 2020 inclusive. Our tours, shop, café and bar will remain closed. The safety of our team and guests is our number one priority, and as we are currently in a Tier 2 area, we are sadly not able to deliver our Gin Cocktail Masterclasses, serve our delicious gin cocktails in the Mill Bar, or allow our guests through our production areas. We are unable to provide a ‘substantial meal’ with our cocktails which means we are not able to serve alcoholic cocktails at the distillery. We have therefore made the decision to reopen when there are fewer restrictions to the experience we can offer.

While production of Bombay Sapphire gin continues as normal, we are sorry to announce that from Thursday 5th November until Wednesday 2nd December 2020 we will be cancelling all tours and events as well as closing our shop, bar and café due to the coronavirus/COVID-19 situation. Our online shop remains open – shop.bombaysapphire.com.

You will not be able to wear your own face mask when you visit us, we will provide you with a surgical-style disposable face mask on arrival because as a manufacturing facility, we must maintain an approved standard specification of face mask to be worn by all staff and visitors to the distillery. We will provide bins for you to properly dispose of your mask as you leave.

We will provide a full-face shield for those who have medical exemption from wearing a face mask.

Currently we are unable to take cash payments at the distillery, transactions need to be by card only and contactless payments are preferred.

Unfortunately, due to social distancing and capacity limitations, only complimentary tour cocktails are currently available at the Bombay Sapphire Distillery. Furthermore, we cannot allow guests to wait at the bar for other guests to finish an experience at this time.

In line with our Coronavirus Policy, when we reopen in December the Mill Café will provide food and drinks to our tour guests at the end of their tour only.
All orders will be served in takeaway containers and include antiseptic wipes and wooden forks for your convenience. Please place your order at the Entrance Hall counter before your tour begins then collect after your tour to be enjoyed with your drink in the Mill Bar.

We are closed from 5th November until 2nd December 2020 but our online shop remains open – shop.bombaysapphire.com.

Please do not attend the distillery if you are showing any symptoms of COVID 19. All guests will be temperature checked on arrival and asked to sign to confirm that you do not have symptoms.
If you have symptoms, please get in touch with us at hello@bombaysapphire.com and we will arrange to move your booking.

Production of our gin has not stopped at any point, and operators in high vis orange clothing may be seen around our site. They are responsible for making gin, and therefore a 2m social distance must always be maintained and the operators must not be approached.

Your voucher can be used on any of our experiences available online. They can be used as a partial payment, and if you have any credit remaining this can be used in the Gin Shop whilst on site.

If you are booked onto an experience that is no longer available, your voucher can be used to book one of our experiences that is available, and any credit left on your voucher can be spent in the Gin Shop whilst on site, or on our online gift shop. Furthermore, if the experience you want to book exceeds the value on your gift voucher, you can top up your payment with cash.

This voucher can now be redeemed against our Discovery Experience (which is currently a fully hosted tour), and you will be given a free gift on departure.

If you have an annual pass/members’ club pass that expired between 13th March 2020 and 20th July 2020, please email us at hello@bombaysapphire.com so we can arrange for an extension to your membership.
