Telford-based experience named as one of the most popular
A Telford based experience has been named one of the UK’s most popular Christmas gifts for 2025.
The Gin Making Course has been featured in The Great British Christmas Gift Experience Guide 2025, a national round up by WonderDays Experience Gifts, based on real time sales and gifting data from the past year.
The course, run by Wrekin Spirit Distillery in Kynnersley, was celebrated following a record year for experience-based presents. The guide compiles a list of the UK’s most gifted and highly-rated activities, based on genuine customer sales data.
WonderDays Head of Partnerships, Abi Sadler, said the local experience is capturing national attention. “This is an incredible spotlight for Telford,” she said. “We’ve seen a huge national shift towards gifting meaningful moments over material things, and experiences like the Gin Making Course will really capture people’s hearts this Christmas.”
The course allows participants to craft their own unique 700ml bottle of gin, selecting from a large range of botanicals. It also includes a tour of the distillery and plenty of G&Ts throughout the session.
Featuring the course in a national Christmas campaign boosts Telford’s growing reputation for unique days out.
Matt Jones, Managing Director at WonderDays, added: “Seeing Telford’s Gin Making Course make the list is fantastic. It’s not only a win for the experience but also a great boost for the town’s growing reputation as a place to eat, explore and enjoy.”
With experience day sales expected to increase this winter, the gin making course is set to remain a highly sought-after gift. It offers a popular mix of creativity and festive fun.
