The Project
We've been hosting tastings and gatherings, and welcoming you in to our distillery since 2021, and it’s no secret that filling our distillery with people is just about our favourite part of running Loveday. Now that we've found a dream spot in Falmouth to move to, we can't wait to do so much more of this.
We'll finally be able to hold get-togethers all year round, contribute a welcoming, accessible and unique space to Falmouth's beautiful, busy food and drink circle, grow as an employer, and serve our community through regular free-to-use-the-space slots. The project will also contribute a valuable all-weather-friendly attraction for visitors the Falmouth through tours, tastings and talks in the summer months.
We’ve done detailed forecasting on how this is going to work, but we need capital to get it off the ground. Your support will help with practical things like seating, lighting, a bar and kitchenette space, flooring and installation costs.
Why get Involved?
Really, really great rewards
We’re definitely not asking for something for nothing- there’s some rewards, one-offs and perks on offer, including the most exciting limited edition distillation we've made yet, event tickets, very good value vouchers to use on the website and in store, and brilliant rewards from some fellow Cornish business friends.
Help create a brilliant addition to Falmouth’s hospitality landscape
There’s no distilleries open to the public in Falmouth, and there aren’t all that many weather-proof, group friendly things to do in this corner of Cornwall, so our tastings, tours and workshops will be great for both us locals, and visitors.
Join in the journey
So when we’re back on James Martin’s Saturday Kitchen talking about how we’ve just made our millionth bottle of rum, you can say ‘hey I helped those guys out when they were tiny!’
We Are Loveday
We’re childhood friends who spent our teens and 20s as chefs, creatives and hospitality workers: in restaurants, as private chefs, and on boats. Now we pour all of that experience and knowledge into every bottle of award-winning organic rum and gin that leaves our distillery doors, and every event we host.
Since 2020 we’ve been making our spirits with clarity, thought and warmth for people that want something fresh, distinct and handcrafted in their glass.
Over 35,000 bottles of organic, made-from-scratch rum, and award winning gin have been enjoyed in the UK and internationally, and they've picked up recognition along the way that's made us grin proudly from ear to ear:
- An appearance on James Martin's Saturday Kitchen, in which Levi Roots said of our organic rum: "Wow... I REALLY like that"
- A Gold Outstanding, 98/100 award from The International Wine and Spirits Competition which is rare as hen's teeth from this revered industry body.
- Becoming the only British, Organic certified, made-from-scratch rum producer in the UK.
- Being picked as a Craft Gin Club gin of the month, which saw one of our gins land on 44,000 doorsteps in August 2023
- Achieving a full house of gold awards from the Taste of the West, and stars from The Great Taste Awards
We can't wait to head into this next chapter with you!
Chloe & Daisy, very grateful Loveday founders
