The annual Top End Gin Festival is back for its fourth year on Saturday, May 24, bringing more than 20 gin distillers from across the country to the tropics, for Australia’s funniest gin festival.
Leaving behind the familiar model of packed convention centres with rows of stallholders - the Top End Gin Festival is a juniper celebration with a difference.
Set under palm trees at the iconic Darwin Ski Club and front row to the vibrant Dry Season sunsets over the ocean, the Top End Gin Festival is part gin, part fun.
This year's event promises to be the biggest yet, with three hours of complimentary gin tastings from a handpicked collection of award-winning and emerging gin producers, live music including headline act The Temper Trap, plenty of local food vendors and exciting activations throughout the day.
Attendees will also have the chance to chat directly with the makers, including national icons like Wolf Lane Distilling and Never Never Distilling Co and local brands such as Speargrass Distilling Co., Willing Distillery and Darwin Distilling Co.
While tickets to the premium Bundilla Beach Club are already sold out, general admission tickets are on sale now from $88.
Danielle Jones, Managing Director of SRO Events, says the Top End Gin Festival has grown considerably since its inception and is still growing year on year – reflecting the desire for a new, expanded Gin Festival format offering in Australia.
"We’re beyond excited to bring back the Top End Gin Festival for its fourth year and to continue celebrating Australia’s incredible gin scene. With award-winning distillers and incredible live music, we’re creating an unforgettable experience for patrons and showcasing the best that Darwin has to offer!”
Bec Bullen, Owner of Charlie's of Darwin, says: "We can’t wait to bring gin-lovers a combination of some of the best gins, both across Australia and locally, for this year's festival. Get ready for top-notch distillers, epic tastings and of course: plenty of gin-fuelled fun.”
As the event that marks the start of the busy dry season, Top End Gin Festival promises to have something for everyone. Tickets are on sale via MOSHTIX.COM.
