BRADFORD & Bingley Rugby Club are holding their inaugural gin festival on Saturday, August 4 (2pm).

It is hoped that up to 40 gins will be available for sampling at the Fever-Tree-backed event, and each ticket holder will not only receive their first drink free of charge, but will also get a decorative glass to keep.

Tickets for the event, which also involve Saltaire Brewery, are £10 if it is bought from the club or £10.50 if acquired online from ticketing agents Eventbrite at www.eventbrite.com/e/gin-festival-at-the-bees-tickets-46969632435.

Local singer Emi Hall and her guitarist will be providing live music, and it is also hoped that a local band will feature.
