About this event

Returning for a second year after a sell-out 2025, Exploring Whisky Bristol celebrats the art of whisky making with some of the most innovative, impressive and inspirational makers and bottlers around. Coe and sample the wares of craft distilleries and independent bottlers, with whiskies from as close as Bristol itself, all the way around the globe with world whiskies.

Everything here is made and bottled with passion for the good stuff - you won't find this stuff on your local supermarket shelves - so come and explore delicious drams in the company of like-minded food and drink lovers at Bristol's fastest growing spirits event.

Check-back in for list of confirmed brands, or follow Exploring Whisky on the usual channels for updates and news.

We'll also have our retail partner, Spirited (from North Street in Southville) bringing their pop-up shop for all your bottle needs to take home and continue enjoying long after the day has ended.

Plus we'll have more amazing street food for you to purchase form our courtyard food area (which is accessible before, during and after your session).


Over 18's only. Fully accesible venue. On-site parking available (check local signage for fees). Only a short walk / bus ride from Bristol Temple Meads.


Frequently asked questions

What do I get for the money?

A free tasting glass to keep & all the drams and spirits on the exhibitor stands (more than you could possibly drink in a week, let alone a few hours)

Can I bring Children or Dogs?

No, sadly we're an adult only event

Is there food available?

Yes! We have amazing street food vendors in the courtyard (and warm seating indoors if the weather doesn't play ball). You can also get coffees, beers and more from Bocabar upstairs.
