READING residents will be raising glasses to a celebration of gin and rum this summer, as a one-day festival comes to the University’s Great Hall.
The event features 120 interesting and different alcoholic drinks for people to discover, along with entertainment including live music and a DJ. Distillers will be on hand to explain more about their processes and creations, offering samples and selling bottles to take home.
The entry fee of £15 plus booking fee includes a guide to the drinks available, a stainless steel straw, a branded glass, a free drink and, thanks to LOVE CORN, a snack to enjoy.
A spokesperson for the Gin and Rum Festival 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.”
And they are excited about the partnership with LOVE CORN.
“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,” the spokesperson added.
The event will be held on Saturday, July 29, and tickets are already on sale.
