13:30 - It’s time for some cider! Part two of your experience takes you to the apple orchard to try Kenton Park Estate’s delicious cider created from their very own apples. Feeling a little chilly? Have a mulled cider! From there, a look around and meet the estate’s rare breed Swiss Valais blacknose sheep and the cheeky pygmy goats! Take a stroll around the lake and spot the Indian runner ducks and cuckoo Maran chicken too.

15:00 - Built up a thirst yet? Head back to taste the estate’s ‘Cheeky Ginny’ and ‘Smokin Ginny’. You’ll then be presented with the opportunity to learn how to make your very own festive gin cocktail and a few basic cocktail bar flair skills!

16:30 - It’s now time to go into the barrel room for whisky tasting! Enjoy Kenton Park Estate’s 12-year old single malt whisky, as well as some of their favourite other whiskies from different regions! Complete your candlelit experience with no other than a whisky bread and butter pudding!

17:30 - Need to put your feet up? Relax with cosy blanket nestled within leather armchairs with a drink of your choice (pick your favourite from the day!) As your day draws to a close, enjoy the ambience around the log fire pit as you’re presented with warm salted pretzels, hot caramel sauce and marshmallows!
