TICKETS are on sale for the return of a gin festival in Bournemouth.

The inaugural event proved so popular last year that organisers will return to the Pavilion from Friday, May 5 to Sunday, May 7 with more than 100 different gins.

There will also be cocktails and masterclasses from experts in the industry as well as live music, food and the chance to meet fellow gin lovers aged 18 or over.

On arrival, visitors will be given their own Gin Festival balloon glass. Each bar operates on a token system. Tokens are bought for £5 and each token pays for a single measure of gin, garnish and a Fever-Tree mixer.

There are four sessions - an evening session from 6.30pm-11pm on Friday and Saturday and an afternoon session from 12.30pm-5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
