Explore, Discover, Discuss.

Tuesday 9 September | A Rum Story or Two

This month, we’ll take you on a journey across the globe to uncover the story of rum. Discover why Malaya and Crete are key to its history, how rum is made – including right here in the UK – and the links to Sir Francis Drake and Captain Bligh. We’ll finish with the tale of two Cumbrian families and how fortunes of £60 million were lost.
A mix of history, intrigue, and local connection – rum as you’ve never heard it before.
