Best gin festival returns for a third year
Scotland’s best gin fest, The Juniper Festival is returning for its third year in Edinburgh. Running on the 10th-12th June 2016 at the amazing Summerhall venue where you can find gin with added street food, local fashion, craft stalls and entertainment.
Solid Liquids, the Edinburgh-based events and dinks consultancy people have organised another event with talks, tastings and gin fans and producers from all over Scotland.
Once you buy a ticket you get entry to over thirty brands with samples from each to keep you busy. Drinkmonger will also be operating a bottle shop for those you wish to take home with you.
“We’re looking to keep up the momentum of Gin’s popularity, with so many fantastic products on the market, more than ever people are interested what they are drinking; the process, the ingredients and the craftsmanship involved in creating their favourite spirit” – Martin Duffy, director of Solid Liquids
The event will take place at Edinburgh’s Summerhall, the home of Pickering’s Gin (who will be opening their doors all weekend for tours of their working distillery) and many other local businesses. The weekend will encompass World Gin Day on the 11th June, and sessions will take place as follows:
Friday: 5.30pm – 10pm
