Gin and rum festival returns to Manchester Cathedral with sold-out afternoon session

The highly anticipated Gin & Rum Festival is making its return to Manchester Cathedral on Saturday, September 7, 2024.

This year’s festival promises to be a vibrant celebration of gin and rum set against the backdrop of the historic cathedral. As one of the year’s most awaited events, it is already creating a buzz, with the afternoon session selling out early due to popular demand.

This unique event offers attendees the chance to explore over 120 different varieties of gin and rum in an unforgettable setting. The stunning Manchester Cathedral, known for its rich history and architectural beauty, provides the perfect atmosphere for the festival, making it a standout event in the city’s social calendar.

“The pleasure we have in being welcomed back year after year to this outstanding venue is beyond words,” said Event Director Donna Brady. “With the afternoon session already sold out, it’s clear our guests share our excitement. The entire venue, from the beautiful grounds to the stunning organ in the Nave, adds an extra special touch that makes our festival truly unforgettable.”

Manchester Cathedral, a venue renowned for its history, is one of the few cathedrals in the UK that hosts such festivals. Attendees can expect a top-tier experience, complete with a stainless steel cup, a reusable straw, a festival guide, and a snack upon arrival. Throughout the event, guests will be able to sample and discover gins and rums from across the globe, with hand-picked distillers offering exclusive tastings.

The festival’s atmosphere will be further enhanced by a live DJ and a band, adding an extra layer of entertainment to the celebration.

While the afternoon session has sold out, there is still a chance to join in the festivities during the evening session. Those interested are encouraged to purchase their tickets quickly for this one-of-a-kind event at one of Manchester’s most breathtaking venues.
