T&R Theakston has recruited some new team members in readiness for the busiest season for its visitor centre, the Black Bull in Paradise.
Manager Nichola Bramley will be joined by visitor centre ambassadors and tour guides Dave Harley and Bee Horner as the Masham brewery prepares to welcome hundreds of beer-lovers.
“It’s a pleasure to welcome Nichola, Dave, and Bee to the Black Bull in Paradise and to the Theakston team,” said Theakston managing director, Richard Bradbury.
“With another busy summer in full flow, their skills and experience across hospitality, customer services, and marketing will be invaluable in ensuring every visitor to T&R Theakston gets a warm welcome and enjoys a memorable experience learning how we craft some of the country’s best beers, including the iconic Old Peculier.”
Established in 1982, the visitor centre provides beer fans with the opportunity to go beyond the bar and see behind the scenes of the brewery’s almost 200 years of history.
Visitors are able to sample Theakston’s core range of ales and learn about the ingredients and expertise which go into creating the perfect pint.
The visitor centre is open from 10.30am until 4.30pm (Monday to Saturday), with regular guided tours throughout the day and private tours available on request. Tickets can be purchased online and are priced at £12.95 per adult and £5.95 per child, including a complimentary pint (or two halves or three thirds), or soft drink, in the Black Bull in Paradise bar.

Sharp’s house chef will be serving bite-size taster dishes, while Sharp’s beer sommelier, Ed Hughes, will pair the dishes with award-winning beers.
Nicholson’s has re-opened The Magpie in Bishopgate, London. It has a good reputation as a traditional pub full of unique character,
with an eclectic range of real ales and craft beers. Frequented by local office workers, it is often used as a meeting point for friends and family due to its close location to Liverpool Street Station.
