Brews & Eats

New dates have been added to the forthcoming Gin Festival at Swindon’s Steam Museum to meet demand.

Festival organisers said: “We can’t believe the response we’ve had to our first event in Swindon. We’re so excited to bring the gin to such a unique and interesting venue and thrilled that we’ll be able to share it with even more gin-enthusiasts through increasing the capacity.”

More than 100 different gins will be showcased at the event - from small producers to more established brands, distilled both in the UK and internationally.

Ticket holders will be given a Gin Festival Copa Balloon Glass and ‘The Gin Explorer Book’ which will guide you through this spirited soiree.

The bars will be operating on a £5 per token system which will equate to a single measure of gin, garnish and a Fever-Tree mixer at the event.

The event also includes  masterclasses with gin distillers, street food and live music.

The two-day event takes place on:

Friday September 29: 6.30pm – 11pm

Saturday September 30: 12.30pm – 5pm

Saturday September 30 – Evening Session – 6.30pm – 11pm

Additional tickets are now on sale for £18, a last minute batch could also be on sale for £22, and available to buy from www.ginfestival.com.
