Our North Shropshire Networking Group
We are so pleased to be working with The Shropshire Distillery to bring a Colony event to North Shropshire.
They craft small-batch spirits and liqueurs at our distillery in Ellesmere, Shropshire.
Founded by Emma and Gareth Glynn, the distillery is built around clear process, hands-on production, and a commitment to quality in every batch.
