Hey gin lovers we had added rum to the menu  (so to speak) for the inaugural 2022 Durban Gin and Rum Festival in association with East Coast Radio on Saturday, May 28th at the picturesque Chris Saunders Park in the heart of uMhlanga from 12 noon until 6pm.

Expect nothing but the tastiest G&T's and Rum cocktails with fresh garnishes and bursts of flavour to tantalise those taste buds!

The festival features both local and international range of bespoke mixers together with a wide choice of rum and gin brands. Plus, every ticket purchased gets you entrance into the event as well as a limited edition branded glass and ‘Rate your beverage’ leaflet.

Grab your complimentary festival glass upon arrival and before you head to the cash loading station to load money onto a Howler card (the event is completely cashless - what a breeze!), you will also receive a free gin or rum taster. Once you have your Howler card sorted, take a stroll through the various bars where you can choose to purchase your favourite Gin or Rum cocktails.

Each cocktail is perfectly paired with nothing but the freshest and finest garnishes to tantalise your taste buds.
