Visitors will be able to distil their own bespoke bottle of gin made to their own specific taste in our gin school. They will be able to look around the distillery operation, learn about the history of gin and Hensol Castle, discover the ingredients that go into the different gins and enjoy a gin tasting and cocktail bar.<br \/>\nHensol Castle Distillery, meanwhile, will produce a range of spirits for commercial sale including entry-level, mid-level and premium-quality gins, vodkas and other spirits including an exciting low calorie, low sugar and low alcohol range. The ambition is for these to be available in local pubs and restaurants as well as major supermarkets, wholesalers and cash and carry outlets.<br \/>\nHensol Castle Distillery is a joint venture between the Leeke family, who own The Vale Resort and Leekes, and the Mallows family who own Bottlers and Distillers Wales. Current Vale Resort directors, Stephen Leeke and Mike Fowler, are joined by father and son team, Andy and Rhys Mallows, to form the new board.<br \/>\nStephen Leeke, managing director of the Vale Resort, said: \u201cThis is a hugely exciting development at the Vale Resort and another critical step forward in the overall redevelopment of the historic Hensol Castle.<br \/>\n\u201cThe distillery experience set in the basement of a beautiful Grade 1 listed building will be something totally unique, not just in Wales but globally. It is a key part of our strategy for the re-development of Hensol Castle and its destination restaurant, which will focus on the very best of Welsh food and drink. We\u2019re confident the distillery and restaurant will attract local trade as well as national and international visitors, and we will be working closely with Visit Wales, the Vale of Glamorgan Council, and other local attractions to bring new markets to the area. It will provide another compelling reason for tourists to visit south Wales, helping to drive the overall economy of the region.\u201d<br \/>\nThe distillery is part of a wider redevelopment at Hensol Castle, which has already included turning the once derelict castle into a first-class wedding and conference destination.<br \/>\nThe craft gin market is booming in the UK. According to figures from The Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA), there are more than 100 different brands of gin in the UK, with 76 million bottles sold to the domestic market between March 2018 to March 2019, worth \u00a32.3 billion. Combined sales of gin, both home and overseas, have broken \u00a33 billion, and Britain now exports more gin than beef.<br \/>\nAndy Mallows, director of Bottlers and Distillers Wales, said: \u201cI\u2019ve been working in the alcohol trade industry for most of my life, and it\u2019s clear that craft spirits, and gin in particular, are booming \u2013 some are even calling it a \u2018gin-aissance\u2019. Obviously, we want to capitalise on this trend, ensuring our spirits are within an arm\u2019s reach of consumers within the Wales market.<br \/>\n\u201cThe joint venture has the perfect blend of skills and experience. The Vale Resort provides years of tourism expertise of running one of Wales\u2019 preeminent resorts while I have spent 25 years selling global brands such as Budweiser, Bacardi and Jack Daniels, before becoming managing director of Dutch distillery, Toorank. We all complement each other\u2019s skill set to create a unique business proposition.\u201d<br \/>\nThe visitor experience, gin school, and production facility will open in Spring 2020.<\/p>\n<h3>Steam Dreams has two evocative and nostalgic trips that are just perfect for treating mothers on Sunday 22nd March.<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_620587\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-620587\" style=\"width: 615px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-620587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rw.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"403\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-620587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayflower Brassknocker Basin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first is a day trip, special departure from London Paddington to historic Winchester from \u00a379pp and the other is a Hampshire Coast Cream Tea Tour from WInchester from \u00a349pp, taking in the beautiful views of the South Coast.

It will be served on Thursdays, Fridays &amp; Sundays with a single sitting at 2pm. Two seatings are offered for Mother\u2019s Day, 22nd March, at 1.30pm &amp; 4.00pm.<br \/>\nPhil &amp; his wife Claire took ownership of Paris House in 2014 and have built a thriving business. Six course (\u00a355) and eight course (\u00a3100) tasting menus are available, as well as an \u00e0 la carte \u2018Sentaku\u2019 menu. Vegetarian &amp; Vegan versions of all menus are also available.<br \/>\n\u201cSince we took over the business five years ago, we\u2019ve had a constant demand for Afternoon Teas,\u201d says Phil Fanning. \u201cAs we are a small restaurant and don\u2019t turn tables, it has been a challenge to work out logistics to allow us to deliver this product alongside lunch and dinner services. We\u2019ve found a way to make it work so we\u2019re now testing it further with a view to developing a dedicated Afternoon Tea room if its popularity continues.\u201d<br \/>\nSet in 22 acres of stunning deer park on the Duke of Bedford&#8217;s Woburn Estate, Michelin recommended Paris House is Bedfordshire\u2019s best Fine Dining restaurant. Woburn is the home of Afternoon Tea (introduced by the 7th Duchess of Bedford to fill the hours while the Duke was out hunting), so what better way to enjoy a winter\u2019s afternoon than with Afternoon Tea at Paris House.<br \/>\nPhil Fanning is considered to be one of the brightest culinary talents and head chefs in the country, commanding a respected standing amongst his peers and critics for innovation and creative use of Japanese cooking techniques to refine and deliver exceptional and unmistakably British food.<br \/>\nThis style is evident in the Afternoon Tea on offer; you won\u2019t find any curling sandwiches here. Think Duck Bao Bun, Blue Cheese Gougere &amp; a delicious Salmon Tartar Feuille de Brick, followed<br \/>\nby a Rhubarb &amp; Custard Twist, Spiced Date Cake &amp; a delicious Cep Parfait. This is Afternoon Tea with a difference, but fear not, you\u2019re still guaranteed scones with clotted cream &amp; jam.<br \/>\nBookings: 01525 290692 www.parishouse.co.uk<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-620583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/under.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"856\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/39851714_891377964402775_1847126697976004608_n-615x615.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theotherstraw.com\">www.theotherstraw.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theotherstraw\">FACEBOOK<\/a> |<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theotherstraw\/\"> INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jamie-Lee and Lennart, are the social impact couple behind theotherstraw.<br \/>\ntheotherstraw was founded whilst trying to solve one of the world&#8217;s biggest challenges; plastic pollution.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ia1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are stunned with the number of plastic waste on our beaches, throughout nature, in city centres, in oceans and basically everywhere else. Plastic straws are among the top 10 plastic items found in beach clean ups every year and we have seen first-hand the negative impacts the straws were having on marine life and humans all over the world. We had to do something about it.<br \/>\nWe are obsessed with ending single-use plastic items. It makes absolutely no sense to get rid of an item within a couple seconds, especially when that item takes minutes to make and then hundreds of years to break down into tiny fractions whilst polluting land, waterways and ultimately ending up in the ocean, continuing its path of pollution. We want to inspire humanity to make more sustainable and ethical decisions. Especially when it is not difficult (at all!) to live more sustainably. We will achieve this one sip at a time.<br \/>\ntheotherstraw is a sustainable enterprise replacing single-use plastics straws with reusable, eco-friendly, organic, 100% natural, biodegradable, sustainable bamboo straws.<br \/>\nOUR MISSION<br \/>\nTo eliminate plastic straws by encouraging the use of sustainable, reusable straws. We will achieve this one sip at a time.<br \/>\nOUR VISION<br \/>\nA world without plastics.<br \/>\nOUR ESSENCE<br \/>\nAt our core, theotherstraw thrives on empowerment, impact and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more?

Having been awarded gold in the Classic Gin Category at the 2020 World Gin Awards, this is a sophisticated gin with a category redefining spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Made with the beautifully scented grape alcohol extracted during the dealcoholisation process producing Mirabeau\u2019s new lower alcohol ros\u00e9, Forever Summer, Mirabeau Ros\u00e9 Gin stands out in the growing pink gin category. Inspired by the abundance of botanicals growing wild on their wine estate near Saint Tropez and living in an area steeped in the history of world-famous perfume trade, the Cronk\u2019s set out on a new journey to create a truly unique and original gin. The result of many months of trials is this beautifully sophisticated, small batch, ros\u00e9 infused gin to reset the benchmark for the pink gin category.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many of its counterparts, Mirabeau Ros\u00e9 Gin is a true gin with juniper being a dominant component. The delicate signature flavours come from traditional distillation with no need for sugary additions. Mirabeau has used grape-spirit as its base, with its award-winning Classic Provence Ros\u00e9 as an element in the distillate. Botanical ingredients, precious to any Grasse Perfumer, add further aromatic layers and delicious complexity. The result is a pale pink gin, with a unique style, bringing a burst of Riviera aromas to captivate the increasing numbers of gin lovers worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the recipe is Mirabeau\u2019s renowned commitment to quality and consistency. Just as you can\u2019t make a great wine with average grapes, Jeany and Stephen see the quality of the botanicals and grape spirit as key to the success of Mirabeau\u2019s Ros\u00e9 Gin. Mirabeau sources its base botanicals from the best suppliers around the globe and this core is then enhanced by the judicious addition of accent plants unique to the Riviera. For these, Mirabeau work hand in hand with local growers and foragers to ensure the standards of quality and consistency are never compromised.<\/p>\n<p>Mirabeau Ros\u00e9 Gin is 100% naturally flavoured, gluten free and handcrafted in France. Mirabeau Ros\u00e9 Gin launched exclusively with Waitrose &amp; Partners just in time for Valentine\u2019s Day and the retail price is \u00a335.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-620568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/home.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"608\" height=\"1106\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>2020 collectable coins a perfect gift this Mother&#8217;s Day<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-620567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dr.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"385\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The South African Mint a wholly owned subsidiary of the South African Reserve Bank, can help lighten the gifting burden.<\/p>\n<p>Collectors of The Big 5 series can now add the new Rhino coin to their collection.

I wanted the long, fluffy fullness of mink lashes \u2026 but without harming animals.<\/p>\n<p>I had a collection of over 100 false eyelashes and had owned three previous businesses when I started Honey Bunny Lashes, and I knew I had to combine my passions of entrepreneurship and veganism, with my love of high end, luxury products for everyone to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Honey Bunny Lashes is brand new starting up in December 2019 and the aim is to bring cruelty free vegan glamour to everyone &#8211; saving animals as well as helping lash lovers to look and feel amazing!<\/p>\n<p>Honey Bunny Lashes start at \u00a310 with free glue with every purchase.
