Rum & Reggae – UK Rumfest


UK Rumfest

This October 2008 will see the second UK RumFest – Europe’s only festival to celebrate the diversity of rum and its rapidly growing popularity. Whether you’re a party animal, drinks connoisseur or just want to transport yourself back to that paradise island, UK RumFest…The Rum Experience has something for everyone.

Over two days, visitors to the festival will have their taste buds tantalised on a whistle-stop tour of the world’s most amazing rums. From Antigua to Barbados, from Mauritius to Venezuela; visitors will be able to experience the wonderful and diverse flavours that the world’s most popular drink has to offer, as well as try some of the rarest rums on the planet.

UK RumFest…The Rum Experience is the chance to get into the tropical fiesta spirit and understand where the shake in your Daiquiri and the kick in your Mojito come from. Throughout the weekend, visitors will meet Master Blenders, Distillers and world famous Cocktail Mixologists to discover many fascinating facts about rum. Those who are eager to become a rum aficionado or just to learn more about this historical tipple can sign up for one of the many seminars taking place over the weekend. Or for the more adventurous, a cocktail master class will teach everything there is to know to about creating some of London’s top rum cocktails. Visitors can also discover the orgasmic delicacy of rum and chocolate which truly complement each other and open the palate to a new dimension in flavour.

Once people have visited all of the stands, they can chill out in the Dominoes and Daiquiri Zone to try one of the tropics’ most relaxing pastimes while sipping on a cool Daiquiri. Live music bands will also be playing some tropical rhythms to make this an altogether unique rum experience.
