Hall & Woodhouse Brewery Tour

Just 10 miles north of Wimborne through the amazing two mile long beech avenue road at Kingston Lacy, the Hall & Woodhouse brewery is well worth a visit. Our passionate and knowledgeable guides can relate our history and the whole beer making processes. You can get a good look around the brewery and see the stages of the brewing process in action. Finish the tour with a pint in the Brewery Tap bar and then visit the brewery shop and stock up on our numerous award winning beers. An absolute centrepiece of any visit to Dorset.
