The best of the West Country's gin makers will be showcased during a tasting evening at an award-winning farm shop in Somerset.

Rumwell Farm Shop, located on the A38 between Taunton and Wellington, will host the Gin & Fizz Night next month.

The event, set for October 4, will allow attendees to sample a variety of gins from the region while enjoying live music.

Sophie Mitchell, partner at the farm shop, said: "A fabulous collection of our exceptional suppliers have signed up to be on hand to help make this an enjoyable evening for everyone who wishes to come along.

"On arrival, guests will be shown to their table where they’ll receive a delicious savoury grazing platter, chosen to help complement the gins and fizz we’ll be sampling during the evening."

The platter will feature a selection of locally sourced charcuterie, homemade focaccia, and a variety of pickled vegetables.

Guests will have the chance to explore the displays of all the gin and fizz suppliers and sample their products.

Confirmed companies include Salcombe Gin from Devon, Exmoor Distillery Northmoor Gin, 6’O’Clock Gin from Bristol, and Tolchards.

Samples will also be provided by Tarquin’s Gin from Cornwall.

The evening will also feature a live performance by acoustic guitarist and singer Andy Doran, who is back by popular demand after his set last year.

Mr Doran has previously toured nationally with the late Cornish comedian Jethro and played at private parties for King Charles III when he was Prince Charles.

His set list includes a selection of toe-tapping classics and modern cover tracks.

Admission to the event includes one complimentary G&T, glass of fizz, or a non-alcoholic alternative per person, as well as food.

There will also be a raspberry and prosecco cupcake for every guest.

A selection of cocktails will be available to buy separately from the bar.

Tickets for the Gin & Fizz Night are £18.95 per person and must be booked online on the Rumwell Farm Shop website.
