Got plans for the Bank Holiday weekend? Here are some ideas:
|
Purcell, power
and a premiere
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Experience
a fantastical tale of power and
corruption where the fast paced action
doesn’t let up from the first note
until the last! Tyrannical ruler,
Diktat unleashes chaos on the planet,
but can a band of unlikely heros heal
the world in time?
Masque of Might is
our Green Season must see, combining a
healthy dose of wit, drama and music.
Scroll through our top five reasons
to catch the opera this
autumn in Leeds, Newcastle, Nottingham
and Salford.
|
|
|
|
It’s
not every day you get the chance to see
a brand-new opera. Using the format of
a 17th Century masque, (a modern-day
variety show), Masque of Might
is full of action and is sure to have
you on the edge of your seat!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.
Feast your eyes
Rediscover
the familiar in an entirely new light,
as we imaginatively reuse pieces from
our stores and create 'new' elements
refurbished especially for the opera. A
favourite of ours is the 1970s caravan
'Dolly', which also stars in Falstaff.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.
Hear an Award-winner
Hear
soprano Anna Dennis perform the role of
political tyrant Diktat's powerful
opponent, Elena. Anna was the winner of
the prestigious 2023 Royal Philharmonic
Society's Singer Award.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.
Play your part
Masque of Might
entertains while making you think. Join
us on our green journey by choosing
e-tickets and a digital programme at
the checkout. We’ve put on more matinee
performances and negotiated discounted
tickets for public transport to the
theatre. In Leeds, head to Kino
for your pre-show meal, where we're all
about using local and sustainable
produce.

The Spirit of Yorkshire
Distillery Newsletter

Hi
What a month August has been. Open Day at the end of July
already feels like a distant memory. It was so good to welcome so many people
to the day - the Masterclasses were sold out, we had to go up to the brewery
to get more beer (twice!) and we had a great response to our new whisky on
the day, Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2023.
As we write, the first fields of Spring Barley are being
harvested and it’s maybe, possibly, perhaps starting to finally feel warm and
summery here on the Yorkshire Coast, just in time for the Bank Holiday
weekend.
This coming Saturday, we have our August Distillery Session.
Swing 42 are two guitarists who bring toe-tapping Gypsy Swing rhythm to Jazz,
Pop and Blues classics. Their aim, they say, is for you to be singing along
by the end of the set and humming those tunes for days to come. Tickets are available from the
website or by calling the team. Great music, great whisky and great
food… that’s what bank holidays are made for!
In good spirit,
The Distillery Team

Award winning Whisky!
We're delighted that we can announce that we won SEVEN gold
medals in the 2023 World Whisky Masters Awards, by the The Spirits Business. Seven!
We talked a lot at Open Day and with our Cask Owners too about
only releasing whisky when it's ready... and this is testament to that and a
real reassurance that what we're doing tastes as good as it can.
Filey Bay STR Finish #3 - Gold Medal
Filey Bay Moscatel Finish #3 - Gold Medal
Filey Bay Port Finish #1 - Gold Medal
Filey Bay Sherry Cask Reserve #3 - Gold Medal
Filey Bay Double Oak #2 - Gold Medal

Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2023
Have you tried Yorkshire Day 2023 yet? What did you think? Joe
(Whisky Director) finds honeycomb, gingerbread and a touch of peach munch
bunch; Jenni (Marketing) thinks the slightly spicy sweetness is excellent
alongside milk chocolate; and Morgan (Sales) makes a strong argument for it
being the best Yorkshire Day yet…
A marriage of ex-Madeira and ex-Bourbon casked whisky, we all
agree that it’s distinctive and different from what’s come before (and very
delicious too). As a distillery exclusive, there are a small number of
bottles left on the website, after that it’s on the shelves in the distillery
shop only.

|
Growing
|
|
On the farm
As we write, the first fields of spring barley is being
harvested and we’re hoping that the rain will stay away for a few more days.
The winter barley and wheat is all in, with the first cover crops already
giving the fields a green tinge.
Did you know that the Centenary Way runs through the part of the
farm? It’s a stunning trail that spans North Yorkshire. If you’re on your way
to Hunmanby and fancy a bit of a rest, take advantage of “Gill’s Bench” and
give yourself a few minutes at the top of the dale.
