The largest gin festival in the UK is coming to Manchester, with over 250 different types for attendees to try throughout the day.
Hosted across two days by The Gin to My Tonic at Manchester Central Convention Complex, the event will give guests the chance to sample gins from producers across the globe, alongside local products made in Manchester- including Manchester Gin, Stockport Gin and Faith & Sons.
Attendees can expect to peruse well-stocked bars, as well as participating in cocktail making masterclasses and taste challenges.
There will also be presentations from distilleries, tonic and garnish tutorials, and theatrical bartender performances.
With over 50 premium gin and mixer brands brands in attendance, you can either try unlimited samples or purchase full-sized bottles.
Although gin is the top-billed tipple, those who aren’t a fan of the juniper based drink can still try others, as distillers also have an opportunity to showcase their other creations including vodka, rum and whiskey.
Tickets start at £15 and are split into two groups - the Gin Enthusiast package, which includes unlimited tastings, a show guide, classes and workshops, a shop and drop facility and a bespoke Gin To My Tonic tote bag to take home.
Gin Connoisseur tickets, priced between £30 and £35, will also grant you exclusive access to the Connoisseurs Lounge complete with a signature G&T, plus a branded Copa glass, stainless steel straw, and private cloakroom facility.
The first session is on Friday 12 November 6.30pm-10.30pm, followed by Saturday 13 November afternoon session from 12.30pm-4.30pm and an evening session from 6.30pm-10.30pm.
