Organisers, Edinburgh’s West End Business Improvement District said: “We are really looking forward to the festival and seeing everyone sample and enjoy the best Scottish Gins in West End bars and restaurants.

“The fantastic thing about this event is the range of gin brands taking part and the proximity of all the venues. Festival wristband wearers can create their own journey around the West End through many of the venues in just a few steps.”

Wristbands are £10 (£8 early bird) or £15 (£13 early bird) with workshops and are available on Eventbrite via www.westendginfestival.co.uk.  

They can be collected from festival partner Fox & Co on William street from 4pm on Friday, March 22.
