The Bowery to host Belfast Gin Festival

The ideal afternoon for any gin lover, this 11th June offers up the opportunity to sample a number of unusual gins as well as the chance to chat directly with the distilleries and their representatives.

From one of the most popular venues in the city you can sip a number of unique gin serves, all whilst enjoying live music, interesting chat and even more delicious food – something The Bowery have become famous for.

In keeping with the festival, some of the guest distillers will be hosting gin talks and specific masterclasses, sure to improve your expertise and impress. From the comfortable and lively venue you can discover how to pour the perfect serve, learn how gin is made with specific flavourings, and gain an insight into other interesting topics.

The gin festival is the ultimate Saturday activity, even for those on a budget. For only £10 per person you have full entrance to the festival, which includes access to all the gin talks and demonstrations, a complimentary G&T on arrival, a souvenir glass and an A-Z guide of all the showcasing distilleries. Although all gins are open to sample, if you would like a refreshing gin and tonic, you can pick up tokens at the event kiosk which can be redeemed against any drinks at the bar. With a choice of over 60 gins and G&T’s for only £6, you can try a variety of exciting gins without breaking the bank.

If you discover a gin you love whilst exploring the festival, you’re in luck, as your ticket offers you an exclusive 10 per cent discount off all gins purchased in the Crafty Vintner Wine Merchant located next door. You can use this discount multiple times throughout the day allowing you to pick up interesting and delicious gins not only for yourself, but as a treat for your family and friends.

Although perfect for gin lovers, the Belfast Gin Festival at The Bowery also offers a fun opportunity for everyone who’s interested in trying unique drink pairings and learning a little more about the iconic spirit.
