The seventh annual Rum Fest event has garnered a loyal following over the years and the city-centre museum played host for the first time. More than 100 rums were available for revellers to try across 20-plus stands, while bespoke masterclasses were hosted by rum ambassadors who led interactive discussions about the popular tipple.
And there were also performances from multi-cultural dance groups to get everyone into the mood.
