CHARTER HALL is hosting the Gin and Rum Festival this week, with free samples and plenty more included for guests.

With over 120 of the very best gin and rums, there will be more than enough for guests to explore, including the best British, global and flavoured products on the market.

The products are hand-picked and many of which are exclusive to the festival.

The event will take place on August 10  from 12.30pm onwards.

For those not too keen on gin and rum, the event also has a cocktail bar where guests can find seasonal cocktails, beer and other beverages.

There is many perks included in the ticket price such as a free drink, a stainless steel straw, live music with a DJ and a gin and rum expert to guide you through.

The final release tickets are currently on sale for a price of £17.55, the last chance to grab a ticket.

There will also be free samples courtesy of distillers and producers showcasing their latest products.

As this is an alcohol based event, entry is for 18 and over.
