About this Event
We'd love it if you could help us forage the wild Gorse Flowers we use to distil our award-winning Dorset Dry Gin. This coming Saturday, join us for a couple of hours of Gorse Flower picking on the sunny cliff tops of our home town of Southbourne, Dorset.
You'll join Head Conkerer, Rupert and team on our annual harvest of this key botanical of our Dorset Dry Gin.
When we're done, you're invited to join Rupert for a complimentary Dorset Gin & Tonic at the Conker Distillery Tap Room. A little thank you for lending us a hand!

Requirements:
- We will bring some thick gloves, but if possible it would be great if you could bring your own thick gardening gloves.
- Sunscreen and hat. Water bottle.
- Trousers and long sleeve tops (to avoid those pesky gorse spikes).
- Suitable footwear for navigating uneven wet ground.

Please Note: We can't collect gorse if its raining. Wet gorse is no good! In the event that it rains and we have to cancel, we will email you in advance to let you know when the event will be rearranged.
We look forward to meeting you on Saturday!
