Fairfax Blending Session
13/02/2025
From 19:00 to 22:00
Begin your session in our distilling room where we introduce you to Mary, our beautiful still, from there we will talk you through the history of distilling and its various styles and methods used within the spirits industry. You’ll then head into our Blending Room where we will explain and demonstrate how to taste our fantastic range of distillates. This is where the fun begins! The idea is you pick around a dozen of your favourite flavours from our collection of over 70, ranging from fruits, berries, flowers, spices, tropical fruits and herbs. And from these you create your own recipe for the three drinks you are going to create, you will get to create your personalised Gin, Rum and Vodka. Once you are happy with your newly created spirit, you then head over to the bar and pick your mixer of choice and a garnish to suit. During the session we will bring out a grazing board for you to nibble on, so please advise of any dietary requirements. From your 3 drinks that you have created you are more than welcome to pick your favourite and for an extra cost we can create you a 70cl bottle of your unique recipe with a fully personalised label which you’ll get to take home with you. This is an interactive hands-on experience for every guest, chatting and banter is expected. We will not be playing background music during this event

Christmas Day
25/12/2025
From 12:30 to 15:30
One of the most special day in our calendar, the opportunity to host you and your family here at Ye Old Sun Inn, Colton. The atmosphere is relaxed, calm and ‘family’….. Be greeted upon your arrival with a Fairfax Cocktail (or mocktail for the drivers and none drinkers!), before being shown to your table in the restaurant where your 5 course dinner will begin. As always, Ashley and the team in the kitchen will be using local produce from our repertoire of small producers. Creating a culinary treat for everyone, whether you choose traditional or not! We only have one sitting, asking guests to arrive between 12/12.30pm. This ensures you don’t feel rushed and can relax knowing you can leave when you’re ready to do so… maybe for that long afternoon walk or just to chill at home with another drink! Santa has already mentioned that he’ll be dropping off some presents for each guest too, so make sure everyone has been good this year! He drops by every year on his way home from his ‘day’ job. Booking is essential and limited due to the nature of the day. Dietary requirements will need to be discussed prior to booking if the menu doesn’t suit guests restrictions as these cannot be dealt with on the day. A pre-order for each guest will be required by the beginning of December. Please book via the booking widget at www.yeoldsuninn.co.uk and we will get in touch to discuss your booking and any requirements you may have. Please note due to not having a music license we will not be playing background music during this session
