THE Gin Festival Swindon will take over Steam Museum this weekend.

And it's already a sell-out success.

The festival, celebrating one of the nation’s most popular tipples, kicks off on Friday with an evening session from 6.30pm until 11pm.

The bar will then open again on Saturday, September 30 for an afternoon session between 12.30pm and 5pm, before returning for an evening session from 6.30pm until 11pm.

From small bespoke producers to more established brands, distilled both in the UK and internationally, organisers are promising a wide variety of gins to suit all tastes.

On arrival festival-goers receive their very own GinFestival.com copa glass and a Gin Explorer Book which will help them to discover the 100+ varieties of gin on offer, whilst recommending a range of Fever-Tree tonics and carefully paired garnish.
