Gin, Gaslight and Victorian Elegance at the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum

Guests will be greeted on arrival by Victorian hosts with an aperitif, before trying a variety of specially selected gins throughout the evening.

There will also be the chance to explore the birthplace of one of England’s greatest writers in a unique, behind-the-scenes, gas-lit setting outside of traditional opening hours.

Museum hosts and Lawrence experts will be on hand to help guests learn more about the Lawrence legacy, answer any questions about the exhibits and get in the Lawrence spirit.

Museum and Collections Officer, Carolyn Melbourne, said, “Our museum is one of the few places nationally that still has working gaslight in the rooms. Because of the gaslight, the atmosphere in the evenings is particularly special. That, combined with a little gin tasting, makes the Gin and Gaslight events a memorable evening out.”

Book your spot and experience the award-winning museum like never before, from 7:00pm – 9:00pm on Friday 9 October at the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum, 8a Victoria Street, Eastwood, NG16 3AW.

This is a popular ticketed event and places are limited, therefore booking early is advisable. Book your place at Gin and Gaslight Tickets, Friday, October 9  •  7 PM - 9 PM | Eventbrite (Opens in a new window)

The D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum is where this literary legend was born on 11 September 1885. Only 30 minutes from Nottingham city centre, the Museum is a must see for fans of literature, and for those wanting to delve deeper into Nottingham’s literary heritage.

Step back in time to experience the traditional Victorian wash house, see the parlour; a room only for special guests, and have a wander around the parental and other bedrooms. The museum’s permanent exhibition features items from Lawrence’s family and even paintings created by the author himself.
