The Gin, Fizz & Food Festival
About The Project
This exciting festival was established by me in 2018 and fuelled by my pure passion for event organising. The first event was a huge success with over 1500 visitors and lots of happy gin traders. The festival, held at Woodlands Castle in Taunton received lots of press attention including a full page spread in the Somerset Gazette, What’s On Somerset Magazine, Somerset Living Magazine and the local radio Tone FM and BBC Somerset.
Due to the overwhelming positive response, we organised the festival again in 2019. The festival boasts over 100 gins from the South West’s leading gin companies, guest gin talks, cocktail masterclasses, cookery demos, live music, gin bars, street food and lots of fun shopping stalls. Tickets include a Taste Card that includes 8 gin samples to get you going!
I developed the festival from scratch, coming up with the concept and branding, a marketing plan, the event plan and I used my project management skills and extensive contacts database to ensure the festival was big success with maximum footfall and quality traders. The festival is one of my ‘proud’ career moments! Event planning can be a very rewarding career when it all goes to plan on the day!
