By Isle of Wight Observer
There’s a new event coming to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, in Havenstreet, over this weekend, and it’s bound to prove popular.
Step back in time to the 1940s, and sample a range of craft spirits across the station, in the park, in the new Barn Café, and even on board the historic steam trains themselves.
Introduce yourself to fabulous craft gins, spirits and distillers, new gins, rums and vodkas, and enjoy tasting samples as part of your ticket from an array of on-site craft distillers. In addition to the guest distillers’ own bars, the railway will have well-stocked bars, with different craft gins and spirits. Whilst gin is at the forefront of the event, there will be rum, vodka, tequila, cocktails, prosecco, and even beers and ciders, too!
For the ultimate relaxed and carefree experience, join the Gin Train and travel in unique style while sipping your choice of tipple behind one of the historic steam locomotives as it travels through the Island’s countryside.
The weekend also includes fabulous live music and entertainment guaranteed to lift your spirits!
Find out more, and book via iw.observer/gin-and-steam for a fabulous day out.
