A TWO-day gin festival is coming to Scotland’s capital at the end of the month.
The “Big Big Gin Festival” will run on April 26 and 27 and will include food, masterclasses, music, a photobooth and cocktails.
Organised by the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, gin lovers
can enjoy their first gin and tonic on the house and grab an exclusive Big Big Gin Festival glass to take away.
The festival will also play host to a range of masterclasses for those who want to learn more about gin.
The festival will consist of three sessions: Friday night from 7pm-12am, a daytime session on Saturday from 12pm-5pm and a Saturday night session from 7pm-12am. There will also be live music from The Respectacles and a Magic Mirror photobooth to capture the memories.
A spokesperson for the festival said: There’s so much more to gin than ‘ice and a slice’, as visitors to the Big Big Gin Festival will find out later this month!”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
