The Gin and Rum Festival

The UK’s largest touring Gin & Rum festival will be returning to Manchester Cathedral on 10th & 11th March and then later on in the year on the 8th & 9th September.

They have some big plans for 2023, which doesn’t include rising their ticket prices! With the huge impact of Covid on the events industry, this small midlands based drinks festival has fought through some turbulent times and it most likely won’t be the last difficulty they face.

However, this isn’t stopping them push forward and give everything they can to their customers. The Gin & Rum team said ‘Though we’ve been touring since 2018, a couple of those years were tainted by Covid. Now we’re back on track with booking new dates instead of rescheduling them. We’ve had time to reflect and start to develop the festival even more, focusing on value for money and customer experience. With the cost of living crisis looming over all our heads too, this is something we’re having deal with promptly’.

At the moment when attending one of their events (£15 + booking fee), your ticket price includes entry, Gin and Rum guide, stainless steel metal straw, branded glass, live music, DJ, access to exclusive products and you can sample all the products available to purchase from the distillers exhibiting there.

Included in your ticket price:

• *NEW for 2023* A FREE DRINK
• *NEW for 2023* A FREE SNACK, sponsored by Love Corn
• A unique Gin & Rum Festival branded glass with carry satchel for safe keeping
• Reusable metal straw #savetheturtles!
• A knowledgeable Gin and Rum guide to steer you through the Festival
• Distillers and producers showcasing their latest products with free samples
• Music from our award-winning resident DJ and some of the UK’s finest live entertainment

The festival has partnered up with snack company LOVE CORN to bring a free snack to all their attendees in 2023. They noted ‘This is huge for us, we’re so excited to team up with such a fresh and exciting company. They’re completely unique and the team at LOVE CORN are great to work with. We’re sure they have a few more things up their sleeves’. With this, the team went on to tell us what else they have planned. ‘We understand everything is just simply costing more and we didn’t want to fall into that category. We want to be able to continue doing what we love for years to come, so if we can look after our customers, we’re sure they’ll look after us too. So, we’ve decided to include a free drink into the ticket price for 2023’.
