The main event will occur on Saturday the 13th of April, in the magnificently
restored Campbeltown Town Hall, while a number of Fringe events are also planned for the weekend.

These include a Gin Dinner at the award-winning Ardshiel Hotel, an Open Day at Beinn an Tuirc Distillery on the Torrisdale Estate and a special screening of ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ at the historic Campbeltown Picture House.

Emma Macalister Hall, director of Beinn an Tuirc Distillers, who collaborated with Explore Campbeltown and Campbeltown Town Hall to launch the event last year, said: "Our aim is to encourage visitors to come to Kintyre to experience this unique part of Scotland whilst taking the opportunity to sample some of Scotland’s finest gins.”
