Wadworth Brewery

Located in the bustling market town of Devizes, Wiltshire, our Visitor Centre is open Monday to Saturday all year round for you to browse & enjoy. Boasting a free self-guided exhibition of brewing memorabilia, a unique collection of hand painted pub signs, and much more, there really is more to Wadworth than meets the eye.

Our onsite sampling bar will enable you to appreciate our range of wonderfully hand crafted ales in comfortable surroundings, with our knowledgeable Visitor Centre Team on hand to answer any of those brewing questions you may have. Hot and soft drinks are available as well as our famous Wadworth Pork Pie & Cheese Platter (available 12-4pm daily – subject to availability).

Factory Tours

Experience a full insight into the gravitational brewing process on one of our guided tours. Explore the traditional Victorian brewery which is still used today and is steeped in history. Gaze at our unique hand painted pub signs, and admire our beautiful working Shire Horses (should they not be on their annual holiday!). A tutored beer sampling session completes the experience, where you can enjoy and appreciate a selection of our wonderfully hand crafted cask ales.

Your journey begins with a steep climb to the top of the Victorian tower which follows the traditional brewing process down through each of the 4 floors. In complete contrast the next stop is the 21st century Copper House to see how technology has developed, followed by a short walk to visit Devizes' most famous residents, our handsome working Shire horses.

Next we take a look around our in-house Sign Writing Studio where all the signs for our 240 pubs are hand painted in the traditional way. We then make our way back to the Visitor Centre Sample Bar for a tutored beer tasting session of our hand crafted ales.
