The Distillery
Talks, tastings, demos, and some whacky bingo…
Here’s a sample of the 2025 Distillery Stage lineup.
Ross & John’s Comedy Bingo
Get ready for bingo... but not as you know it. Join comedians Ross McGrane and John Oakes for a chaotic, side-splitting spin on the classic game — packed with ridiculous prizes, unexpected antics, singalongs, and a whole lot of laughs. Eyes down and drinks up — this is Lazydays Bingo!
Boozy Baking with Dana Conway
Who's hungry for limoncello cheesecake and whisky apple crumble? Great British Bake Off star Dana Conway brings her viral boozy bakes to life in this sweet and spirited session, live at Lazydays. Come for the cake, stay for the kick!
Cooking with Beer
Join award-winning beer writer and flavour expert Melissa Cole as she brings the seaside to the skillet — with sardines, samphire, watercress, beery crab meat and cockle popcorn. A bold, briny masterclass in how beer can elevate your cooking.
Ollie & Melissa’s Head-to-Head
Two experts. Two opinions. One winner. Beer writer Melissa Cole and beer nerd Ollie “The Hopsmith” (owner of Hopsters Leigh) pick their festival favourites and battle it out for your vote. Expect passionate pitches, bold flavours, and plenty of friendly banter — you decide who takes the crown!
Come to the
dark side
Think dark beer’s all thick and heavy? Think again. Sample a range of rich, roasty brews that are full of flavour — not just fullness. It’s time to broaden your beer horizons and fall in love with the dark side.
Hop to it!
Ever wondered what gives your beer its punchy flavour and aroma? Come sip, sniff and swot up on hops — the mighty little plant behind the magic. Taste as you learn in this laid-back, hop-fuelled session!
