Established in 1992, Rudgate Brewery is based in the Vale of York, on the old Roman road from which we take our name. Founded in a former RAF Marston Moor building, our early beers were inspired by nearby York (Jorvik) and its Viking heritage. From those beginnings, we’ve grown into an award-winning brewery with a SALSA-accredited facility opened in 2011.

Our core range is complemented by seasonal cask ales, bottles, and kegged beers. In 2022 we launched our first lagers, Pilsnor and HUS, followed by Ragnar, our vegan and gluten-free beer in 2025. Quality and service remain at our heart.

Make Your Mark Stamps

Make your Mark Stamps, making custom, bespoke rubber stamps since 1985.

There’s one store that likes to keep things old school. We’re talking about a good, solid stamp made from natural rubber. Teachers always need them; hobbyists and creative youngsters are addicted to them and they’re indispensable for businesses who require a quick way to mark their logo and address. Every design is logged in-store so that when you return with a few amendments, it can be easily retrieved but equally, you can get inspiration from seeing the different stamp designs and let your imagination run wild.
