Gin and Rum festival to hit Glasgow this summer with over 120 drinks to try out

The Gin and Rum festival is set to return to Glasgow this summer, with over 120 of the best gins and rums available to try out.

The festival will be back for a two-day run in the city on August 12 and 13 and will be held at The Briggait in the city centre. Attendees will be able to pick their new favourite drink from samples brought by hand-picked guest distillers and enjoy music from an award-winning DJ and live entertainment.

The products will give guests the chance to discover some of the highest quality gins and rums - many of which are exclusive to the festival.

New for this year's festival will also be a themed Tequila bar, with a variety of up to 20 authentic Tequilas on offer.

The founder of the Gin and Rum Festival, Bobby Nanua, said: “We've had a fantastic start to the year touring the UK but it feels extra special to be returning to Glasgow, the city has such a good buzz round it and the event is always a huge hit.

"We love coming here.”

Tickets include entry to the event, a reusable stainless-steel straw, and a G&R branded Copa glass with a carry satchel for safe keeping.

Complimentary samples and talks from the guest distillers, as well as a premium selection of mixers and tonics are also included in the ticket price.

Tickets for the event can be purchased at the official website, here.
