This weekend, I went along to Maidstone Gin Festival. I hadn’t been to one before, however I was flanked by two friends (and expert gin-drinkers) who had been to a previous event down in Eastbourne (for Gin Festivals are now all over the UK) and knew what to expect. Tickets to each festival start from £10 depending on time and
