Box Moor Trust Gin Returns!
In 2019, Kate and Ben from Puddingstone Distillery, creators of the multi award winning Campfire Gin range, produced 1594 The Spirit of Box Moor. This very special gin, distilled using juniper from our very own estate, was released to celebrate 425 years of the Box Moor Trust. Today, we are excited to announce that the Box Moor Gin will be returning this September with a new look and bigger bottle. Alongside our very own juniper, harvested last year, the team have used British angelica, coriander seed, Moroccan orris and fresh lime, a historical nod to the fact that Box Moor Wharf was the home of Roses Lime Cordial from 1946 to 1983.
“For the last few years we have received many requests to create a new bottling of this classic London Dry style gin using the Box Moor juniper. For us, working with a local conservation trust and sourcing our key botanical just a few miles from the distillery aligns perfectly with our ethos of working mindful of community and environment. We feel privileged to work with such an established organisation and in a region where customers have embraced our product” commented Kate.
This latest release will be limited to circa 400 bottles presented in two different bottle designs. For every bottle sold, the distillery will donate £2 to the Box Moor Trust.

Puddingstone will be launching the Box Moor Gin in September and it will be available on Saturday 23rd at the Autumn festival.
Volunteers making a difference at Gadespring
Conservation volunteers do amazing work for the Trust. Recently, they have been working with our Rangers at Gadespring Cressbeds, a micro nature reserve. It’s a big task keeping on top of all of the summer growth and can be VERY wet work clearing channels as this time of year, both in and out of the water! Silt gets trapped in the roots of fast growing plants such as Common Reed (Phragmites australis) slowing water flow.
As always, we are grateful for the hard work and time that our volunteers give to make these areas continue to look great and to help conserve wildlife. If you feel like getting involved with our friendly team, visit our website to find out how you can help:

Due to the sensitivity of the site and its special wildlife, Gadespring is not open access at all times. However, regular open sessions are hosted by Box Moor Trust volunteers every Thursday between 10am and 12 noon and on the last Sunday of the month between 11am and 2pm – it’s well worth a visit!
