An event focused on two popular spirits is taking place at an esteemed educational institution in Reading this year.
Residents with a thirst for spirits are therefore in luck this summer, as the Reading Gin & Rum Festival is returning to town for 2026.
Described as the top UK event for rum and gin drinkers, the single-day celebration has an afternoon and evening session. Ticket holders will be treated to a free gin and rum guide, a reusable cup and straw crafted from stainless steel and a chance to discover over 100 different spirits from successful brands.
Established companies attending drinks festivals sometimes order a stock of branded Corporate Gifts to hand out to potential new clients and customers to encourage trade.
Festivalgoers can sample rum, gin and a wide range of other drinks while enjoying a festival soundtrack supplied by a live band and DJ.
The Reading Gin & Rum Festival 2026 will be held in the Great Hall of Reading University on Saturday, August 8. The afternoon session starts at 12.30 pm and ends at 5 pm, while the evening session runs from 6 pm to 10 pm. The university can be found on London Road in Reading.
Those wishing to attend are urged to book their place early, as tickets typically sell out in advance.Get a Free Quote for Corporate Gifts
