The Gin To My Tonic Show is the largest gin festival in the UK, offering a rare opportunity for gin enthusiasts to meet-the-makers behind over 50 premium gin and mixer brands.
The show offers a very different experience to the traditional festival. No other festival brings together the wonderful world of gin in quite the same way, so for those looking to embark on an exciting journey of gin discovery, complete with unlimited tastings, this is most certainly the show for you.
There are well-stocked gin and cocktail bars, as well as cocktail making masterclasses, taste challenges, presentations from distilleries, tonic and garnish tutorials, and theatrical bartender performances. But the main attraction is the large variety of distilleries, artisan gin makers and tonic manufacturers in attendance, which creates what can only be described as gin heaven!
Thereâs plenty to keep you inspired and entertained as you work the room and celebrate everyoneâs favourite juniper-based tipple. And whilst gin is the primary focus of the show, makers will also be showcasing their other creations including vodka, rum & whiskey.
Like what youâve tried? Then you can purchase a full-size drink straight from the brand themselves, or even a bottle to take home for your collection.
There really is something for everyone!
Please drink responsibly

FAT FREDDY’S DROP
23 Jul 2022
SPECIAL GUESTS LOGG CABIN AND DJ KOA
So you know, this show has been rescheduled from Wednesday 29 April 2021 and Saturday 24 July 2021. If youâve already got tickets, theyâll still be valid, so hang on to them; your ticket agent will be in touch to tell you more.
Fat Freddyâs Drop is internationally regarded as one of the worldâs finest live draws. The seven piece band has navigated its way from the incubator of sunshine reggae through a colour-saturated field of soul psychedelia before swerving onto a desolate Detroit superhighway at night. It is a sound that demands to be heard live, a potent mixture of jazz virtuosity and diaphragm-wrecking digital sonics.
At last count Fat Freddyâs Drop have delivered over 1000 shows in their career, clocking more than 500 appearances in Europe, 33 Australian Tours and over 300 shows in their homeland.
Let’s give them a massive welcome back to Wales.

PROFESSOR BRIAN COX – HORIZONS: A 21ST CENTURY SPACE ODYSSEY
3 – 4 Sep 2022
So you know, this show has been rescheduled from Wednesday 29 September 2021 and Thursday 30 September 2021. If youâve already got tickets, theyâll still be valid, so hang on to them; your ticket agent will be in touch to tell you more.
Horizons: A 21st Century Space Odyssey with Professor Brian Cox
Having set two Guinness World Records with his previous sell-out World Tour, Professor Brian Cox is back with a brand-new Arena show for 2022.
Horizons takes audiences on a dazzling cinematic journey; a story of how we came to be and what we can become. Using state of the art LED screen technology, Arenas will be filled with images of far-away galaxies, alien worlds, supermassive black holes and a time before the Big Bang. What is the nature of space and time? Why does the Universe exist? How did life begin, how rare might it be and what is the significance of life in the Cosmos? What does it mean to live a small, finite life in a vast, eternal Universe? The deepest of questions will be explored using the latest advances in our understanding of quantum theory, black holes, biology, planetary science, astronomy and cosmology.
Horizons is a celebration of our civilisation, of our music, art, philosophy and science; an optimistic vision of our future if we continue to explore Nature with humility and to value ourselves and our fellow human beings.
Brian will once again be joined by co-host of The Infinite Monkey Cage and award-winning comedian Robin Ince, perhaps the only collection of sentient atoms in the observable Universe capable of overseeing a Q&A with an audience of 10,000 people whilst wearing an old cardigan.

The past 10 years have been an incredible journey but what makes it even more special is that it has felt like a shared one between us and our fans. The Vamps have taken us across all five continents and given us the privilege of playing in front of millions of people. These five albums are chapters in our lives and moments we are hugely proud of. This last year has been one of reflection for us and as four best friends whoâve had the chance to live out our dreams we now canât wait to celebrate these memories with you all.â
