Junipalooza 2016: Sample hundreds of gins this World Gin Day

Brace yourselves. London’s annual celebration of gin is back

Just the tonic: There'll be gin in all its forms at Junipalooza

World Gin Day returns on June 11, and so does London’s international celebration of the juniper-flavoured spirit: Junipalooza.

Now in its third year, the festival will be held at Tobacco Dock and will be bigger than ever before — running across two days on June 11 and 12.

It’s run by the Gin Foundry and will feature a record 40 distillers from around the world, along with music, food, a cocktail bar and masterclasses.

And that’s on top of hundreds of gins to sample, from over 42 different distilleries across 14 countries.

You’ll get the chance to try every single one of them, either neat as a shot or as a mini gin and tonic, included within the ticket price. So bring your sturdiest gin legs.

There will also be stands from many of the industry’s favourite tonic waters, because what’s a G without its T.

Tickets cost £39 and give access for one of four sessions across the weekend, each lasting four hours. Visit Yplan.com for more info and tickets.
