A Toast to New Be- Gin -ings
Fresh, local, and open to all.
At the very heart of our Hospice home, just off the main reception, sits Gargowan Gifts - a bright, welcoming space that’s filled with thoughtful treasures and locally crafted treats. Whether you’re choosing a card, picking up a seasonal delight, or finding something special for a loved one, every purchase made here gives twice: once to the person receiving the gift, and once in support of the Ayrshire Hospice. And now, there’s something new to discover on the shelves – a handcrafted spirit with a story all of its own…
Gargowan No.35 Gin
Created in partnership with Isle of Cumbrae Distillers, Gargowan No.35 Gin takes its name from our original home at 35 Racecourse Road. It’s a tribute to our beginnings and to the community spirit that has carried us forward for more than 30 years. This small-batch gin brings together rhubarb, raspberry, orange and elderflower – botanicals chosen not just for their flavour, but for their meaning. Elderflower, long associated with life’s natural transitions, reflects the Hospice’s commitment to compassion and dignity at every stage of care. The bottle itself, designed by Scottish artist Martina Martin, is a work of art. Inspired by Ayrshire’s coastline, it features Forget-Me- Nots and Magnolias - symbols of remembrance, hope and new beginnings - woven together with subtle nods to the Hospice’s story and surroundings. Whether given as a gift or enjoyed yourself, every bottle of Gargowan No.35 Gin helps support hospice care across Ayrshire and Arran - making it a gift with both heart and purpose. Gargowan No.35 Gin is currently available to purchase from www. isleofcumbrae-distillers.com. Very soon, you’ll also be able to pick up a bottle through our brand-new Hospice online shop – coming soon! You must be over 18 to purchase. Please drink responsibly.
Just steps away from Gargowan Gifts, at the very heart of our new Hospice home, you’ll find Gargowan Café – a bright, welcoming space to relax, refuel and enjoy fresh, local flavours. Open Monday to Saturday, the Café is here for the whole community – whether you’re visiting the Hospice, catching up with friends, or simply looking for somewhere new to enjoy good food and great coffee. You can choose to sit in and soak up the atmosphere, or take something away to enjoy on the go. Our menu celebrates the best of Ayrshire’s produce, with a tempting range of breakfasts, lunches, light bites, sweet treats, and a great choice of teas and coffees – with plant-based milks available too. Come for the coffee, stay for the warmth of the welcome – and be part of a place that’s built around community.
