Very enjoyable however servers did not have gin knowledge and think some of the gins could have been better presented with more suitable mixers.
Also we sadly left our glasses which as it was a birthday celebration has put a bit of a damper on the night

I’ve been to 2 of these events and thoroughly enjoyed both. The entertainment at the event on 1st December was very good. Great selection of gins.

Loved the way the room was set out, especially the bar area, meaning that there were no long queues for drinks
Staff were knowledgeable about the drinks too
Very friendly staff upon arrival 👍

Review of Absolutely Fabulous Gin Festival Comes to Saint Helens Town Hall

Attended with four of my friends and overall we thought the evening was poor value for money, the event lacked atmosphere and not alike other festivals that we have attended in the area, so much so that we left after an hour.
The Gin guide was really helpful but the prices were too expensive and made it difficult for us to enjoy the event.
A drink festival in our opinion is an opportunity to try different drinks at reduced prices in order to sample things that we would not normally try.
The prices at this event made it impossible for us to do so.
£5 per drink (25mls) is more than we would pay in or local pub, (who do actually stock a lot of the gins that were on offer), moreover we would not have had to pay an entry fee (£10 each). The cost of the event should have included two free substantial gins of our choice rather than the half filled Prosecco glass that was offered.
the drinks prices should also have been a lot cheaper or the measures substantially larger in order for us to sample an array of the drinks on offer and enjoy the event to its full potential.

A most enjoyable evening

Review of Absolutely Fabulous Gin Festival Comes to Saint Helens Town Hall

VIP Visitor with no nibbles available on a drab table layout, candle arrangements where much better down stairs, no wonder most of the people ended up down stairs through out the night. The food was cold and defiantly not value for money. Group was not much better.
It was a good job the event had 50 different Gins to choose from which with the feevertree tonic was reasonable value.

Review of Absolutely Fabulous Gin Festival Comes to Saint Helens Town Hall

Really thoroughly enjoyed Saturday VIP experience with The Absolutely Fabulous Gin Festival. We were sat with some delightful people who were all enthusiastic gin samplers. By the end of the evening we were all tasting each other's choices. The bar staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Everything ran smoothly. Food was nice but was expecting a curry. Entertainment was amazing. The seeing was equally special. I have never seen the inside of the town hall. Definitely will book again.
