The festival will showcase more than 30 types of vodka and 80 varieties of gin.

Ticket-holders will have the chance to learn about the history and craftsmanship of both spirits and can soak up some live music whilst tucking into street food and tasting sessions.

Set withing the historic Grade I-listed building and underneath its impressive glass-domed roof, the event is sure to be a hit. It’s no wonder that tickets have already sold out.

However, the festival will return to the Corn Exchange on Friday, May 27 and Saturday, May 28 – with tickets still available for some of the afternoon and evening sessions.

For tickets, which cost £8, or for more information, visit the website at www.ginvodkafestival.com.
