FAQs
Gin Britannia is about learning in a fun and informal way while sampling some of the finest food in Birmingham and beyond.

What does the experience consist of?

It’s a great, fun learning experience and perfect to share as a couple. We have five stills at The Eureka Kitchen meaning a maximum of ten people. This makes for a more personal and intimate one-to-one experience.  For the price of £245 this covers one still and one bottle of spirit as well as two Michelin Star lunches from the team at Simpsons. You will also receive G&T’s during the course and tea or coffee upon arrival and still or sparkling water throughout the day.  If you would like to join us on your own then that is not a problem. The fee for a single person is £195 for the day. 
If you want to book for your own party, please contact us and we can arrange a private hire of the Gin School for you and your friends.
I am travelling from afar, is there places to stay? 
Simpsons has three en-suite guest rooms which can be booked for couples who wish to stay the evening. A continental breakfast is included and these can be booked via Simpsons for £110 per night. We also recommend The Edgbaston and The High Field which are boutique hotels only a few minutes walk from Simpsons. Alternative accommodation can be found throughout the UK’s second largest city and taxis will be able to take you anywhere in the city.
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
By law you must be 18 or over to participate. We have a Challenge 25 policy, so if you are lucky enough to look under 25 or are under 25, please bring ID with you. This is a really important condition of our licence to run the Gin School.  We're sorry, but without ID we may have to refuse you on the day, and neither of us wants that.
Do I get to drink gin at School?
We certainly hope so, as this is a Gin School you will get to sample some gin & tonics during the course of your day.  Everyone is asked to drink responsibly and we have a duty of care to advise you that you will be operating a very hot still and we want you to enjoy the event safely. 
Can I bring the kids along?
This is one School that children under the age of 18 are not allowed to attend. All participants must be 18 or over. We are sorry, but this is for grown ups only.
What shall I wear? 
Simpsons is a Michelin Star restaurant so we ask guests to dress in a smart causal manner.
Do you have accessible toilets?
The Eureka Kitchen is situated on the first floor and can only be accessed via stairs. So unfortunately we do not have facilities for anyone who is wheelchair bound. We advise customers who have difficulties with stairs to call us prior to booking so we can assist you.
Do you do Gift Vouchers?
What a wonderful gift!  Gin Britannia Gin School tickets make excellent gifts and we also offer Gift Vouchers for sale. If you have been lucky enough to have received one of our vouchers, you can redeem it here: info@ginbritannia.com

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the School?
Gin Britannia takes place in The Eureka Kitchen at the famous Simpsons Restaurant. Simpsons is located in Edgbaston, a leafy suburb just over a mile from Birmingham’s city centre and a five minute cab ride from Birmingham New Street station.
20 Highfield Road,
Edgbaston,
Birmingham,
B15 3DU
What is the refund policy?
All ticket sales are refundable or exchangeable with 7 days notice. Any less than that, please call us and we will see what we can arrange for you. We want you to have an amazing experience and the unexpected happens, but booking a date does reserve you a still, so please be mindful of that. 
If you have a question then please do not hesitate to contact us:
Email or call us and we will answer your questions as soon as we are able. See our contact page for more details.
