Live music, gin and rum will be enjoyed for a good cause at the return of a popular festival.

The Dereham Gin and Rum festival is making its return over the weekend of April 28 to 30 at the Cock Freehouse on Norwich Street, once again being put on by the town’s Round Table. 

The event will feature over 20 different gins and rums and live music on each evening.

Ollie Wilkins, part of the Round Table’s organising committee, said: “We are really excited, we have five musicians booked in, and we cannot wait to see some friendly faces come down. We think it is going to be a really good event this year.”

Entry is free - fundraising is through the sale of spirits and commemorative glasses.
