Gin, the sophisticated cocktail ingredient with a long and colourful history, has made a great journey to become our favourite spirit aperitif. Today, this versatile, restorative beverage offers an astonishing range of flavours, fragrances and varieties. Britain is still home to the world’s best dry gins, a reputation enhanced by a recent proliferation of innovative boutique products.  This is now challenged by continental newcomers, but enhanced by a sparkling new range of tonics.

Take a short break from the festival’s literary treats and join John Harris, who leads a tasting of contrasting gins, flavoured by mysterious botanicals and exotic fruits.  Discover your favourite G&T combination – and remember to leave the car at home.
