The UK’s largest gin festival is coming to Manchester

Calling all gin and tonic enthusiasts – the UK’s largest gin festival is coming to Manchester later this year.

The Gin To My Tonic will offer a rare opportunity for gin enthusiasts to meet-the-makers behind over 60 premium gin and mixer brands, when it comes to town in May.

The show offers a different experience to the traditional festival, and you’ll get the chance to embark on a journey of gin discovery, complete with unlimited tastings – with over 250 varieties of gin on offer.

There will be numerous well-stocked gin and cocktail bars, as well as cocktail making masterclasses, taste challenges, presentations from distilleries, tonic and garnish tutorials, and theatrical bartender performances.

Besides that, there’ll also be a large variety of distilleries, artisan gin makers and tonic manufacturers in attendance – making it a proper gin extravaganza.

While gin is understandably the main focus of the show, makers will also be showcasing their other creations including vodka, rum and whiskey.

And if you like any of the tasters on show, you can purchase a full-size drink straight from the brand themselves.

The Gin To My Tonic is happening at Manchester Central on Friday May 22nd from 6.30pm-10.30pm, Saturday May 23rd from 12.30pm-4.30pm and 6.30pm-10.30pm, and Sunday May 24th from 12.00pm-5.00pm.
