Chin-chin! The UK’s largest gin festival is coming to Edinburgh

Edinburgh has no shortage of spots to enjoy a wee tipple, but for one weekend this October more than 100 different gins will be showcased in a single venue.

After hosting events across the country, Gin Festival will be coming to Edinburgh for the first time this year and take place at the Corn Exchange.

More than 100 different gins will be on offer and the event will also feature talks from industry experts and food on sale. If you’re a gin newbie, the team will be on hand to help you get started with some recommendations to help you find the gin for you.

The entrance fee includes a glass to take home and a brochure with information on all the gins and a suggested garnish. Drink tokens will be on sale at the event.

Gin Festival Edinburgh, Friday October 23-Saturday October 24, Corn Exchange. Tickets £8.
