MORE than 100 of the world’s finest craft distillations are up for tasting at this weekend’s Manchester Gin Festival at Victoria Baths. The event has long been sold out, so pray for a friend with a spare ticket or join the waiting list for returns. If you are already booked in for the three-day event (April 25-26) you’re in for a treat.
Tipples start at around £5 a shot with essential tonics and garnishes, plus there’s stomach-lining grub, live entertainment and gin masterclasses.
