A glamorous paradise for gin purists to launch at Delapré Abbey
Top-secret details only just revealed…
Until now, the details of this 1920s speakeasy-style event have been kept carefully under wraps, but previously top-secret details are now emerging and they’re pretty mind-blowing.
On Saturday 25th January 2020, the Bouverie Saloon will swing open its stylish doors on a unique, late-night world filled with lashings of gin, sensational entertainment and a dash of impromptu education in all things gin-related.
Tucked inside the Grade II-listed stately home’s stylish Bouverie Suite, the saloon will serve up a heady aesthetic consisting of speakeasy vibes, retro fashions and Parisienne glamour. Drinking never looked so good.
A majestic setting
The Bouverie Saloon will take up residency at Northampton’s Delapré Abbey – the 900-year- old stately home that boasts a formidable fusion of history, eccentric architecture and stunning surroundings.
The Bouverie Suite – where the saloon lives – is picture-perfect; stylish, gold-embossed décor that gently dances to spirited ghosts from glorious gatherings of years gone by.
A love affair with gin
The idea for the saloon is the brainchild of the aforementioned Gin Lady – Northampton’s very own flame-haired gintologist, who possesses an unparalleled passion for this irresistible tipple and is brimming with gin-tastic facts.
As well as sipping gins from around the globe inside the sumptuous Bouverie Suite, guests can learn all about the drink’s fascinating origins (G&T is terribly English, but did it actually originate here?), try unique blends (there are over 40 premium gins to sample!) and even create their own mix under the expert guidance of The Gin Lady, Gin Masters and vivacious Vixens – all of whom have a glint in their eyes and the science of gintology coursing through their veins.
The Gin Lady only works with a small, dedicated batch of distillers and it’s their handcrafted gins that guests will have the pleasure of indulging.
A cabaret of cocktails
As well as immersing themselves in the world of gin, guests can also turn their attention to the art of cocktail-making – from forgotten mixes to contemporary classics (with a decisive nod to marvellous, timeless martinis, their predecessors and derivatives). Those lucky enough to attend will learn how they’re shaken up (using the freshest of ingredients) to create concoctions that look as wonderful as they taste.
From vaudevillian theatrics and pure cabaret to comedy and swing jazz – entertainment at the Bouverie Saloon promises to be as eclectic as it is unforgettable. And are there details of what acts and special guests are coming up? Absolutely not. That’s part of the saloon’s unpredictable charm… you never know what you’re going to get until you turn up.
Now, how to turn up… suitably dressed of course!!
