The Gincident is as eventful as the name suggests. It may be a gentle cruise to MediaCity and back, but it's anything but sedate.

The Liquorists will be taking the genteel river cruise into uncharted territory

That's because the captains of this (drinking) vessel are The Liquorists who are bon viveurs par excellence. That is to say they know their way round a bottle of gin or two.

Which is just as well because this particular event is all about exploring the wonderful world of gin. It's informative and full of anecdotes but as The Liquorists are consummate hosts, it's never dull. Your gin education is delivered in a 'non wanky way' – their words.

Knowledge is a beautiful thing but let's face it, experience is what counts. On the Gincident, you get to 'experience' five premium gins blended to create 5 perfect but idiosyncratic G&Ts and five expertly-crafted cocktails.

Drinks will be complemented by a botanical feast with dishes built around the same botanicals used in the creation of gin.

Summer wouldn't be the same without the Gincident. On Fridays and Saturdays throughout June and July, The Liquorists will be taking the genteel river cruise into uncharted territory, for an altogether more spirited affair.

Tickets cost £55 per head.
