World Gin Day takes place on the second Saturday in June every year, and this year falls on June 10th.  Started right at the start of the gin revival back in 2009 by blogger Neil Houston, it has been co-ordinated since 2013 by gin blogger Emma Stokes (who goes by the moniker *Gin Monkey*) and is now an international celebration of all things gin that had 20,000 people talking about it on social media last year.

To help you make the most of this most special of days, the team here at Wheadon's Gin present their pick of the events happening on June 10th.

G&Tea at the Bella Luce (Guernsey)

If you live on Guernsey, then pay a visit to your local distillery!  Join us at the Bella Luce, the home of Wheadon's Gin, for tour of the Bella Luce Small Batch Distillery and an afternoon tea with a difference.  We'll be serving Wheadon’s and tonics to pair with the Bella's classic afternoon tea of delicate cakes, scones and finger-sandwiches.  Take a seat in the dappled shade of the courtyard garden, and take your time over tea!
