Weekender: Summer Cocktail Experience launches festival event for 2019

The Cocktail Experience is back with a bang for Summer 2019 on World Gin Day.
On 8 June, The Summer Cocktail Experience will be held at the iconic Faversham in Leeds.

Promising a festival feel come rain or shine, Leeds cocktail experts and bar representatives will be out in force, joined by live music, DJs, street food traders and more.

Following the Faversham’s recent refurbishment, the event will take place both indoors and outdoors.
Call Lane’s Jakes Bar and Greek Street’s Neighbourhood will be back, along with a host of Leeds bars including The Lost and Found Club, Banyan, Revolucion de Cuba and Angelica’s.

The Summer Cocktail Experience will be the fifth event from the Pink Gorilla team, and perhaps their most ambitious.

Director Jordan Odu said: ‘’With the bottomless brunch and the daytime drinking trend booming in Leeds, we thought it was time to take the cocktail party out of its comfort zone, and into the suburbs for Leeds’ first cocktail festival. Having attended various events at the Faversham, I knew this venue was perfect, especially after its amazing refurbishment.’’

‘’The people of Leeds don’t need to be asked twice to party, and so we’re going to give them the biggest and best cocktail festival the city has seen. I hope to see you at the bar!’’
