A setting that already brings something to the event
Mt Uncle does not start from a blank slate. The property already has atmosphere, scale and a strong sense of place, which gives the event more presence from the moment guests arrive.
Guests move naturally between spaces, the bar feels connected to the distillery, and the venue can suit a warm indoor gathering or a more open format outside.
Distinctive grounds
A venue with visual identity built into the property.
On site spirits
The drinks offering feels native to the venue because it comes from the distillery.
Flexible flow
Indoor and outdoor movement that suits the shape of the event.
Event-ready formats
Suitable for weddings, celebrations, launches and broader estate use.

The Distillery Bar
An indoor anchor for weddings, private celebrations, launches and weather-safe hosting, with a refined feel and a strong indoor option if the weather changes.
Capacity: up to 120 seated. Best for seated events, launches and smaller gatherings.
The Lawn Bar and Stage
An open-air format suited to larger celebrations, receptions and drinks-led events with more movement, more room and more energy.
Capacity: up to 300 cocktail, up to 200 seated. Best for receptions, larger private events and outdoor formats.
Exclusive Estate Hire
A broader venue format for clients wanting the estate itself to become the setting, with more flexibility in how the event moves across the property.
Capacity: tailored to brief and layout. Best for weddings, major celebrations and larger briefs.
A drinks offer with real substance
The drinks matter here because they come from the distillery itself. That gives the venue a stronger sense of connection and gives the event something guests notice.
Drinks formats
Welcome cocktails, hosted tabs, timed bar service, cocktail-led packages, beer and wine service, or a simpler format shaped to the event.
Signature serves
Distillery-made spirits build a stronger arrival moment and a cocktail list that feels native to the venue.
Food direction
Smaller gatherings may suit grazing and relaxed service. Larger events can be shaped around more structured catering depending on the brief.
Practical advantage
The bar is already part of the venue story, which gives the event more cohesion from the outset.

Planning a Christmas party?
From 6pm the distillery can be booked privately, so your group has the bar, the indoor space and the grounds to itself rather than sharing them with the public. It suits company and staff Christmas parties, end of year celebrations and corporate groups. Tell us your date and numbers and we will come back with options.
