They said: “This year we’re going to be teaming up with local, artisan and small-batch distillers to bring you gin that is hard to find on the high-street or in your favourite bars.

“With more than 100 different gins each with a perfect serve you can expect a great mix of your old favourites, the fruity numbers, the herbaceous and the down right different.”

The event will be hosted within the secret Victorian walled garden at The Plungington Hotel.

A spokesman said: “The botanical marquee will also feature an enlarged selection of rums, wines and whiskies for those of you who are all ginned out.
