UK’s largest gin and rum festival set to come to Swansea

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, they say 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. The first thing we did was look at how we could give more to our customer and one thing stood out. A free drink. So we’re doing it.”

Previously when attending one of their events (£15 + booking fee), your ticket price already included 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. Now this will include your free drink and snack. 

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”. 

Organisers say you’ll be spoilt for choice with over 120 different Gin & Rums to choose from.

You can chose your new favourite tipple, while having a boogey along to some live entertainment and their award-winning DJ. You’ll even get the chance to rub shoulders with some of their hand-selected distillers and enjoy their samples – snd even purchase a bottle to take home.

The Gin and Rum Festival is at Swansea’s Brangwyn Hall on Saturday 16 September 2023.
