How to get a free gin and tonic in Manchester this Saturday

There may be no such thing as a free lunch but there is such a thing as free gin and tonic.

Because Thomas Dakin is giving gin fans across Manchester the chance to enjoy a free G&T tomorrow, Saturday 2nd November.

The gin brand is partnering up with Impossible bar on Peter Street for the one-day giveaway.

Impossible staff will be handing out Thomas Dakin’s signature red paper cups from 2pm for you to exchange at the bar for a free G&T. The bar will also be offering 50% off your second Thomas Dakin drink.

The Manchester-born gin brand is currently in the process of constructing its own gin distillery, which is set to open in early 2020.

It was originally meant to open its doors this autumn but the date has been pushed back.

When it’s finished, it will house a working distillery, gin bar and event space.

“At last, it’s happening,” said David Hume, director of Thomas Dakin.

“With this new distillery, we’re going to be breaking new ground in craft gin distilling and really championing the great craft heritage that Manchester has.

“Dakin was a true visionary of his day and the distillery will continue Thomas Dakin’s great gin-making legacy, while highlighting to the world the north west’s important place in the colourful history of gin.”
