Henley Railway Station attracts visitors from all over the country
SUCCESS breeds success and that’s what’s brewing at Henley Railway Station where, after just a few months, the microbrewery has expanded into new premises.
The Henley Mile Brewery at the station has moved to Wootton Wawen after seeing huge demand since opening in February.
Angela Okey, chair of Friends of Henley Railway Station, told the Herald: “The microbrewery needed more space with demand outstripping supply, but they will continue to supply us, so it’s a positive all round.
“This means we can expand with this exciting ongoing project. We’ve been given a load of church pews by St Nicholas Church, Henley, which we’re very grateful for and we’ve got plans to create a tap room, so we can double our capacity.
“We want to promote local artists by incorporating an art gallery and we’re in talks with another microbrewery about having ale tasting events on site once a month.”
Henley Railway Station has attracted visitors from Birmingham, Leeds, Derby and London who then boost the local economy in Henley and Stratford, which was one of the intentions the project which has seen the railway building brought back into use.
