UK’s largest gin festival held in Sussex: in pictures

The UK’s biggest gin festival took place in Sussex this weekend.

On Saturday (July 10) crowds of people gathered in the 200-acres estate of Borde Hill Garden, near Haywards Heath, for the event organised by Brighton events company E3.

Before Saturday’s event, E3 chief executive David Hill said there would be more than 100 premium and small batch gins to try out, including firm favourites like Sipsmith and Hendricks, and a Pink bar dedicated only to Pink Gin.

The event, for people aged 18 and over, started at noon on Saturday and ran until 9pm.

Here are our pictures from the day.
