The Gin and Rum Festival will be returning to The Assembly Rooms on 11 October 2025 with two sessions to choose from.

Whether you’re new to the gin and rum scene, or a keen enthusiast who’s looking to expand their horizons, with over 120 different spirits to try, you’re sure to find a new favourite.

Currently touring the UK, guests will be able to travel the world of gin and rum across hand-picked award winning guest distillers, and new tequila bar, all whilst enjoying tunes from a DJ and live acoustic band.

Included in the ticket price is a handy Gin & Rum Festival guide, a stainless steel tumbler, reusable stainless steel straw and a branded carry satchel to carry it all in. Also included are free samples from expert distillers and producers, and mixers and soft drinks.

Two sessions are available. Come for the afternoon (12:30pm to 5pm) or opt for the evening session (6pm to 10pm).

This is a strictly 18+years event. ID (Passport, Driving Licence or PASS Card) may be required if you look under 25. Please drink responsibly. Assembly Rooms is located on George Street in the heart of Edinburgh city centre and just a few minutes’ walk from Princes Street. Plan your journey with either Lothian Buses or Edinburgh Trams.

Further information and tickets, which should be booked in advance, can be found on Gin and Rum Festival.
