Speaking to the Blackpool Gazette, a spokesman for the festival explained: “Gin Festival isn’t just about the gin and tonics though, there’s a regular cocktail bar serving up fantastic gin-based libations, as well as additional seasonal treats.

“You can chat to the distillers and brands who love to make gin, drink gin and share a sample or two.

“If they get you hooked, attend one of the amazing masterclasses where you can learn all about gin how it’s made, its history and beyond.”

And, if that doesn’t tickle your fancy, you can “just relax” and “soak up the atmosphere” as you “relish every gin and tonic.
