There will be a number of flavoured gins among the selection which includes Aber Falls Orange Marmalade Gin, Adnams Copper House Pink Gin, Didsbury Gin Raspberry & Elderflower, Eden Mill Love Gin Liqueur, Greenall’s Wild Berry Gin and The Lakes Damson Gin Liqueur.

All of the gins will be served in a Copa de Balon glass, which is bulbous in shape, like a balloon, and is perfect for drinking gin and tonic.

The Draper’s Arms manager, Christopher Parkes, said:”The festival will showcase some wonderful gins from across Britain.

“They have not previously been available in the pub and I am sure that our customers will enjoy drinking them.”
