Dryad Gin & Somerset Stories | Becky Wright’s Magical Journey from Myth to Distillery

Step into the passenger seat with us for a sparkling chat with Becky Wright, founder of Dryad Gin - a brand born in Somerset, inspired by folklore, storytelling, and a love of community.

Becky shares how she turned heartache into creative purpose, blending the art of storytelling with small-batch gin making. From pop-up speakeasies that bring people together to plans for a tiny Somerset distillery, this interview is full of heart, humour, and homegrown magic.

Discover how Dryad Gin keeps things local, creative, and connected through storytelling, song, and spirit.

🎥 Featuring Pippa Whitfield 🎤, filmed by Justin at Impact 2020, and driven by Paul Newman from Hilton Ames.
