It's been billed not only as one of the most exciting openings in Northumberland but the entire world.
Ad Gefrin, a new £10.4m visitor experience and distillery and one of the biggest ever investments in rural north Northumberland had been due to open this autumn. However, visitors will have to now wait until next year to experience the new immersive museum and distillery, as the opening date has been pushed back until February 2023.
The site in Wooler will celebrate the Anglo-Saxon Golden Age and display several objects from nearby Yeavering, the royal summer palace of the Northumbrian Kings and Queen in the seventh century. Northumberland's first whisky distillery will also be on site, and is expected to be operational by September, though its opening is in line with the rest of the site next February - with the production of the county's first single malt not expected until 2025.
