Adnams Brewery & Distillery Tours
Review
Southwold has somehow retained the timeless charm that makes a British seaside town so special, and Adnams Brewery & Distillery remains firmly at the heart of its story. Brewing traditions here can be traced back to 1345, giving every tour a remarkable sense of heritage and place. Led by knowledgeable, enthusiastic guides, the experience takes visitors behind the scenes to understand how Adnams has evolved from a historic brewery into a modern brewery and now also a distillery. The team explains the processes with clarity, bringing centuries of craftsmanship, innovation and local character vividly to life. What impresses me the most is how this award winning Brewery & Distillery has managed to remain a family run business for all this time. The tour here is informative without ever feeling too technical, this is a fascinating and enjoyable experience. You leave not only appreciating Adnams more, but understanding why it has flourished for centuries.

The Swan Hotel (Southwold)
Having travelled the length and breadth of the British Isles and Ireland, I have seen firsthand what makes this part of the world so special, and The Swan Hotel in Southwold captures that spirit beautifully. As the flagship of Adnams’ pubs and hotels, it offers far more than an elegant place to stay. The Swan was among the first hotels to receive a Michelin Key, an achievement that speaks volumes
