Northumbrians ❤️ tide checkers!

🚙 Holy Island is only crossable twice a day, and you can find yourself in serious bother if you find yourself crossing at the wrong time, meaning people like Martin from HM Coastguard might have to come and rescue you, and your car could even be written off!

If you're planning a trip to Holy Island, you can save yourself a load of bother by looking at the tide times online before you set off. We want you to enjoy the beauty of , but we want you to do it safely.

Don't leave it to chance, check in advance!

Holy Island’s first & only distillery! 🏝️

793 Spirits Co. is located on Holy Island, a tidal island off the Northumbrian coast. We are only accessible twice a day via a 3 mile causeway that gets flooded by the North Sea! 🌊

We are proud to be the first & only distillers on Holy Island, producing gin, vodka (& soon to be rum 🤫)

If you’re heading over to the island, pop in & see us at ‘Spirit & Soul’ for a few tasters or a G&T in our hidden bar! 🍸

Please remember to check the tide times first! 🫶🏼

Worth a visit to the island for this alone!

Did you know we have a liquor store on Holy Island? ✨

Back in the ‘Holy Island Gin’ days, we were only ever online or straight to trade. The first thing we wanted to accomplish as ‘793 Spirits’ was to create a space where people could visit, browse our products & have a natter about all things gin! 😍

It’s coming up to 2 years since we opened our distillery shop! 🤯

So, if you’re ever on Holy Island come find us tucked away on Fenkle Street, just off Market Square! Peruse our spirits range, goodies & come see what we have hidden behind our secret bookcase door 🤫

The bird hide perched on the edge of The Lough is a popular resting spot for those exploring the eastern side of Holy Island. Amidst the tranquil waters, a vibrant community of waterfowl thrives throughout the year, until wintertime when sparrowhawks scour the area and use it as their go-to hunting ground. 🦆🦢🦅

Black-headed gulls can be seen nestled among the diverse vegetation in and around The Lough which includes waving reeds, velvet-tipped reedmace, floating bogbean and yellow iris. 🌼

Inside visitors will find a log book, where rare sightings are recorded by eager birdwatchers, or for the novices, there are some displays by Natural England to learn the basics.
