Find AK This Christmas — and Choose Thoughtfully for New Year
A festive market visit is a chance to slow down, meet independent businesses and choose a gift with a little more thought. This Christmas, you can find AK Distillery in two cities: Manchester and Birmingham. Here are the confirmed places and dates to put in your plans.
Manchester Christmas Markets: Corn Exchange
AK will be at Manchester Christmas Markets in the Corn Exchange area from Saturday 7 November to Tuesday 22 December 2026. Trading hours are 10am–8pm daily, across 46 consecutive days. The location is Corn Exchange, Exchange Square, Manchester, M4 3TR — not Albert Square or Cathedral Gardens.
Christmas in Cathedral Square, Birmingham
Find AK at Christmas in Cathedral Square from Thursday 5 November to Thursday 24 December 2026. The location is Cathedral Square, Colmore Row, Birmingham, B3 2QB. This is Christmas in Cathedral Square, not the Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market. Exact trading hours are subject to organiser confirmation; check our calendar and the organiser’s information before travelling.
Discover the collection in person
Meet the AK team and enjoy a complimentary miniature tasting before choosing your bottle. Tastings are for adults aged 18 and over. If you are buying for somebody else, tell us which flavours they tend to enjoy. A useful starting point is their taste, not a label chosen at random. For verified award support, White Chocolate Moonshine received a two-star Great Taste Award in 2026.
Carry that thought into New Year
There is no special New Year offer or release being announced here. Instead, use the time before the celebrations to browse the real collection and decide what suits your plans. A familiar favourite and a bottle you want to discover are two different choices; neither needs a rushed decision or pressure to buy more.
