Our award-winning guided tour takes visitors around the Faversham Brewery site to learn about the ancient art of brewing. 

The 80 minute tour also includes a visit to the Old Brewery Store, housed in the old wines and spirits store, which features impressive displays of historic delivery vehicles, a recreated coopers’ workshop, bygone pub signs and a collection of hop picking memorabilia.

It ends back in the Visitor Centre bar with a tutored tasting of Shepherd Neame’s Kentish ales and speciality lagers, before visitors have the chance to visit the brewery shop.
