Scotland's biggest gin festival has launched three new dates for 2018.

The Scot Gin Fest confirmed the event will be back for 2018 and has added two new Glasgow dates to the line-up. 

The festival launched in September and was masterminded by Glasgow-born foodie entrepreneur Chris Gallen, who owns the well-loved artisan venue Gray’s Deli in Broomhill.

Chris said “Through Gray’s Deli I have witnessed the explosion of Scottish craft gin. Our customers are loving all the new releases on our shelves; Scot Gin Fest was the natural progression and I was confident that there would be demand for our festival concept in Glasgow and beyond.

Glasgow Times:

"We have now confirmed three additional destinations to roll out our winning formula across Scotland.”

A Masterclass Series will return at each event for gin enthusiasts to taste and get an in-depth look at the inner workings of their favourite craft gin distiller.

Glasgow Times:

Scottish broadcaster and journalist Hardeep Singh Kohli will speak at each of the festivals and will be Guest Editor for the new festival magazine, Ginnovators, available exclusively at each Scot Gin Fest location.

Tickets go on sale today at scotginfest.co.uk.

Prices start at £15.
