Enjoy gin, history, and tasting at Dr Johnson’s House! Sip, learn, and hear how Georgian London was drunk on gin. A spirited evening awaits!
An evening of gin, history, and conviviality in a historic house
Join us for a enjoyable evening of gin, history, and tasting in the historic surroundings of Dr Johnson’s House. Start with a refreshing G&T on arrival before our curator takes you on a journey through the intoxicating history of gin—from its notoriety as 'Mother's Ruin' in Georgian London, to 19th-century Gin Palaces and its revival as a trendy British tipple today!
Discover how gin shaped Georgian society, from the infamous ‘Gin Craze’ to its role in everyday life, and sample two distinctive gins inspired by the period. Whether you're a gin enthusiast or simply curious about the spirit, this event promises to be an intoxicating and enlightening experience. Cheers! 🍸
