The Little Shop & Forest Gin Garden
We are very proud to announce the arrival of the Little Shop & Forest Gin Garden in the beautiful spa town of Buxton
The Gin Garden and Shop can be found at the Pavilion Gardens in the centre of the town.
The Little Shop By Forest Gin is Buxton’s largest selection of quality wines, spirits, gifts and treats. All of our wines to take home are carefully curated, with a huge selection of Natural Wines, Organic Wines, and small releases from selected vineyards. We stock a beautiful selection of spirits made in our own distillery just down the road in Macclesfield Forest
The Forest Gin Garden is Buxtons best outdoor space for a G&T, cold beer, or a glass of wine in a relaxed, friendly environment. Booking is highly advised, and we have seats in the sun, or under a shelter with heaters for those cooler Buxton afternoons.
The Pavilion Gardens is a beautiful, historic venue dating back to 1871 which superbly shows off the Victorian splendour of Buxton. Set within twenty three acres of magnificent, landscaped gardens and play areas, the venue provides the perfect setting for fun and relaxing family days out, with great food and drink, shopping and over 100 events and festivals throughout the year.
The Little Shop & Forest Gin Garden, our little shop & bar is situated in the beautiful historic Pavilion Gardens.
You can take in the picturesque views whilst enjoying a cold G&T in our little gin garden, or pop into our shop where you can grab yourself a bottle of our award winning Forest Gin or Whisky. For those strange folk who don’t enjoy spirits, we have a curated range of wines and local beer as an alternative.
Chat with our weasels in the store who will tell you the story about how we began and will tell you all about our spirits and the perfect serve!
Also available is a large range of hand selected wines from around the world, so there is certainly something for everyone.
We even have a small range of gifts and homeware.
