The Gin & Rum Festival comes to Newcastle in
May 2019
Would you consider yourself a gin or a rum lover? Or perhaps you’re both. Whatever the answer, there’s good news for everyone as the Gin & Rum Festival is coming to Newcastle this May.
The largest touring Gin and Rum festival is coming to Newcastle Civic Centre on 24 and 25 May with over 60 different gins and 60 different rums. The event will also offer live entertainment, a selection of tasty street food and the opportunity for guests to spend quality time exploring a wide range products.
The event will take place on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 May with a session on Friday evening and two sessions on Saturday, so you can choose to have a daytime drinking afternoon or into the evening. Doors will open from 12:30 pm until 5pm followed by an evening session which takes place at 6:30pm to 11pm.
For 2019 The Gin & Rum Festival is delighted to announce that Schweppes will be their official tonic partner. At every event Schweppes fans will be able to try a selection of rums and gins, perfectly paired with the brand’s premium range, Schweppes 1783, which includes Cucumber, Salty Lemon and Muscovado flavours.
Rosalind Brown, Marketing Manager, Coca Cola GB
said, “We’re so excited to be the official sponsor of Gin and Rum festival
this year! As gin has been on the rise in recent years, rum is also going
through a renaissance – while the classic G&T remains popular, more and
more people are choosing rum based cocktails. This is the perfect platform for
us to show how versatile our mixers can be, and our premium Schweppes 1783
range offers a wealth of unique flavours which can be paired with different
rums and gins alike. We hope everyone enjoys the festival!”
The
founder of The Gin & Rum Festival, Bobby Nanua, said: “I am delighted to
have launched the UK’s very first Gin and Rum Festival. We have had a fantastic
year in 2018 hosting the festival in over 20 cities, now it is a great pleasure
to bring the festival back to over 30 other cities across the UK in 2019.”
Ticket prices will include a Copa glass, a Gin and Rum Festival satchel and your all-important Gin and Rum bible, featuring all the fantastic drinks the festival has to offer. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at www.ginandrumfestival.com.
