It goes without saying that World Gin Day is one of our favourite annual occurrences. We like to use it as the perfect excuse to drink as much gin as possible, and you are more than welcome to use that excuse too.
This worldwide event is a true delight, and today we are going to be sharing some of the best upcoming World Gin Day 2019 events with you.

There are a few different Gin Journey events taking place across the United Kingdom, but we definitely prefer some to others. In Leeds, you will be given five delightful samples and cocktails, and you will be chauffeured between some of our favourite drinking spots.
London – Whitley Neill Takeover @ Century Club
We have a soft spot for the gins that are distilled by Whitley Neill, so it comes as no surprise that this event has our attention. The Century Club rooftop is one of the most prestigious spots in Soho, and it looks set to display a special menu of luxurious classic cocktails and summer cocktails that will perfectly complement the laid back atmosphere of the terrace.
Manchester – World Gin Day Manchester 2019 @ Manchester

Spread across the entire city, Manchester’s independent take on World Gin Day is set to take place at multiple venues. A number of these will be offering some amazing gin deals, and customers will potentially have the opportunity to meet people who work for some of the world’s most prestigious distilleries.
Oxford – The Gin to my Tonic Festival @ Oxford Town Hall
We love multi-layered events, and any event that brings together more than a hundred different varieties of gin is certain to leave us enthralled. In Oxford, the Gin to my Tonic Festival has been specially curated to take gin drinkers on a journey of self-discovery. Live sessions with experts will also be available throughout the day, so you should try to plan your day around them.

Dozens of different bars are going to be participating, and you will be able to collect a “Gin Trail Passport” from any of them. If you buy a Mason’s cocktail, then you will receive a stamp. When your passport is full, you will receive a free small bottle of Mason’s Yorkshire Gin to enjoy.
