WIN a pair of tickets to this weekend's first Melton Spirits Fest

Exhibitors, including Burleighs Gin, Two Birds Spirits and Old Vodka will be showcasing a range of alcoholic spirits including vodka, gin and whisky, as well as other local produce such as alcoholic chocolates and coffees at St Mary’s Church.

One of the highlights of Spirits Fest, which is on Saturday and Sunday, will be a series of gin distilling workshops, run by Two Birds Spirits from Market Harborough, where visitors will learn how gin is made, see the distillation process for themselves and sample the drink.

There will also be talks on gin and other spirits during the day and of course, tastings.

Organiser Matthew O’Callaghan said: “This is a great opportunity for people to get to know more about spirits, how they are made, where they come from and importantly what they taste like.

“The setting for the event will really make for a fantastic day or evening to be spent with friends.”

The event runs from 10am to 9pm on Saturday and 12.30pm to 8pm on Sunday.

Go online to www.spiritsfest.co.uk to book a workshop or an advance ticket, which costs £4, instead of £5 on the door.
