Family announces Morecambe gin shop will close

A family-run gin business in Torrisholme will close at the end of this month, it has been announced.

The Three Wheel Gin Company shop and distillery on Lancaster Road had been open since 2024.

The micro distillery makes hand crafted gins, vodkas, Limoncello and Orangecello.

It was previously based at the former Blue Mountain restaurant on Marine Road East before opening at the Torrisholme premises.

A post on the Three Wheel Gin Company Facebook page said: "With heavy hearts, we want to share some news that has been incredibly difficult for us.

"Due to changing personal circumstances, we have made the decision to close The Three Wheel Gin Company at the end of June.

"Our shop will remain open throughout June, Tuesday–Saturday, 11am–3pm, and online orders will continue to be available until we close.

"If you’ve been meaning to visit us, now is the time. We would love to welcome you into the shop throughout June to stock up on your favourites, discover something new, and help us celebrate the final chapter of The Three Wheel Gin Company.

"If you can’t make it in person, please place any online orders before the end of June to avoid missing out, as once we close, our products will no longer be available.

"We are deeply grateful for the support, kindness, and loyalty you have shown us over the years. Being part of this community has meant so much to us, and we would love the chance to see as many familiar faces as possible before we close our doors for the final time.

"Catherine, Colin, Pete and Seb."

Following the statement, there were many comments of support on social media.

Linda said: "I’m so sorry to hear this. But you’ve got to do what’s best for you. Wishing you all the best for the future...and thanks for the lovely drinks you created. I think I’ve sampled them all."

Andrew said: "So sad, met you at the Cumberland show, so friendly and have continued to order ever since good luck in the future."

And Simon said: "Really sad to see this, loved ordering from you guys and you dropping bottles round to me when you were out walking the dog!"
