Welcome to the future home of Whitby Distillery — a bold, sustainable project taking shape in the shadows of Whitby Abbey. Set within two historic stone barns, our new distillery will be a place of craft, character, and community.
Our new distillery is located on Abbey Lands Farm, a short walk from the clifftop ruins of Whitby Abbey. These 19th-century barns will be carefully restored and reimagined into a working distillery, visitor centre, and space for learning and gathering — all while retaining the charm and integrity of the original structures.
In collaboration with Native Architects, our new distillery blends heritage with sustainability — featuring wildflower green roofs, solar power, recycled heat and water systems, and low-carbon, locally sourced materials.
More than a distillery, it’s a space for community, learning, and environmental impact — a future-facing tribute to Whitby’s past.
The new Whitby Distillery is currently under development, with the goal of opening doors in 2026. As with many projects, timelines may evolve due to supply chain and construction challenges — but our commitment remains the same: to craft exceptional spirits in a place that truly reflects who we are.
This is more than a construction project — it’s a community venture. You can play a part in bringing this vision to life by joining our Founders Club.
Founders receive exclusive gin releases, recognition inside the new distillery, and a chance to shape the future of Whitby Distillery — one bottle at a time.
