The Greenbank Hotel is hosting the Falmouth Gin Festival for the second year running.

It will be held on Saturday July 13 throughout the whole hotel from midday until late, finishing in The Riverbank Suite overlooking Falmouth harbour.

Attendees will enjoy a G&T on arrival, samples from local distilleries, and of course a keepsake branded gin glass.

There are two different ticket options – silver is the day time session from 12pm until 6pm, and gold is for both sessions from 12pm until 11.30pm.

Award-winning products from the likes of Curio, Tarquin’s, Salcombe Gin, Rock Gin, Caspyn, Holly’s Gin, St Ives Gin and Sam’s Liqueurs will be on offer, and attendees can kick back whilst picking up some tips from gin masterclasses.

Festival-goers are invited to lounge around sipping cocktails served in the Water's Edge bar, share a tasting board of nibbles with friends and dance the night away to their favourite tunes in The Riverbank.

There will be a whole host of entertainment including informal talks by gin distillers, photo booth stations, giant games, and performances from local singer songwriters Will Keating, Miranda Brooke, Jumping Out Jazz and the hotel's resident DJ.

Although the main focus will be on gin, there will also be a vast range of other spirits available including local rums, vodkas and craft liqueurs.

Greenbank cocktail barista, Yohann Thuillier, said: “As the popularity of gin continues to rise nationwide, we’re celebrating with our second dedicated gin festival. We’re so excited to have so many expert gin suppliers joining us from Cornwall and further afield. There will be a buzzing atmosphere with live music and plenty of gin tasters being poured!”

Silver day tickets cost £11.50 and day and night tickets (gold) cost £16.50 each, which includes a £1.50 booking fee, and can be purchased here.
