The world’s longest and most exciting rum festival kicked of by the world’s only global rum ambassador Ian Burrell returns for its astonishing 19th year, to offer enthusiast, lovers of knowledge & discovery two packed days of rum celebrations with an amazing selection of hundreds of rums from all around the world. You can chat to your fave rum brands, ambassadors and get questions & insight on the rum you are sipping, knowledge from masterclasses and cheeky samples of exclusive rums, some by the way that may never see the light of day again or be available in the UK.

Past exhibitors have included some of the biggest in the game such as Mount Gay, Hampden, Foursquare, Appleton Estate, Don Q, Equiano, Ron Santiago de Cuba, Diplimatico & Bacardi to name but a few.
You can also indulge in some super delish Jamaican street food and hot authentic traditional Caribbean soul food in the form of patties packed with spice to spiced jerk wings, fish, veggy delights and flaky fluffy rotis! Drooling yet? You should be.

Lastly, don’t forget, one of the highlights is the rum floor turns to a massive party dance floor with classic “Carnival Hour” to end the evening. Don’t forget, Saturday sells out fast every year. There are lots of ticket options to choose from. Grab your tickets here
