Tickets are still available for the opening night of this year’s Gin Festival in Farnham on Friday 14 September.

There will be around 150 different types of gin including local and lesser known brands. Gin enthusiasts will be able to chat to the distillers, listen to free talks by gin experts and attend optional masterclasses on a variety of gin themed topics.

Councillor Jill Hargreaves, Lead Member for Tourism and Events says: “We have completely sold out of tickets for Saturday night, but we still have a few spaces left for Friday. If gin is your preferred tipple, then why not treat yourself to a ticket. You’ll discover how to mix new and unique cocktail recipes as well as traditional favourites. There will be samples for you to try and everybody will receive a complimentary Fever Tree tonic and souvenir Gin Festival glass – I think the festival will be a great way to start the weekend!”

The Festival is hosted by Farnham Town Council in partnership with The Wheatsheaf and is sponsored by Abbeyfield Wey Valley Society and Andrew Lodge Estate Agents.

Tickets are priced at £12 and are being sold by the Farnham Maltings on behalf of Farnham Town Council. They can be bought from the Maltings box office by visiting www.farnhammaltings.com or calling 01252 745444.
