More local artisans set to take over Aber Falls Distillery this weekend

Aber Falls Whisky Distillery has played host to a number of talented, artisan makers at the Abergwyngregyn site, at a trio of unique weekend events this October, and this weekend will see multiple artisans take over for a day at the Visitor Centre.

Dubbed ‘Artisans @ Aber Falls Distillery,’  this weekend sees five local business owners and creators taking over the distillery to display their crafts at stalls within the Visitors Centre.

Local businesses can be found offering a unique mix of artistry, creativity, and handmade goods. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, shopping for unique gifts, or simply looking for a delightful weekend outing, Aber Falls Whisky Distillery is open to visitors.

This follows the two earlier successful events this month, which saw Aled Lewis and Fad Clothing and Embroidery welcome guests to the Visitor Centre.

Aber Falls kicked off its October artisan weekends on 19th October playing host to Aled Lewis, an acclaimed photographer whose breath-taking work is currently featured in Oriel Môn. Aled’s stunning photographs capture the natural beauty of Wales in all its glory, and our visitors enjoyed browsing through his collection, chatting with Aled and, dare we see it, many also took home a piece of North Wales to adorn their walls.

Visitors to the distillery on Sunday 20th October were delighted to find Fad Clothing and Embroidery. Their custom-made clothing and embroidery pieces are crafted with care and attention to detail. From stylish garments to personalised gifts, our visitors enjoyed discovering a wonderful array of high-quality designs that blend tradition with contemporary style.
