There will also be opportunities for those attending to watch cocktail demonstrations, learn about the drinks directly from their makers and sample a selection of gin and prosecco, all whilst enjoying live music throughout the day.
The gin distilleries set to showcase their excellent products include HMS Spirits, who have featured on ITV’s This Morning, Smith & Weston, Harley House Gin, Wessex Spirits, 33 Green Bottles Old Bakery Gin, Bournemouth Distillers and River Test Distillery, with even more brands still to be announced.
