NICKOLLS & Perks has hailed its second Just Gin Show a huge success.

Around 500 gin fans and more than a dozen distillers from around the world descended on Stourbridge Town Hall to celebrate the much-loved tipple which has been enjoying a huge resurgence in popularity of late.

Jerome Marks-Gardener, retail manager at family firm Nickolls & Perks, said: “The show was incredible.

“The event had such a great vibe flowing from the many distilleries involved through to the gin enthusiast.

“It was thoroughly enjoyable and we hope we’ve helped people think about gin differently.”

Following the resounding success of their second show on July 29, bosses at Nickolls & Perks, based in Coventry Street, Stourbridge, are already starting to plan next year’s event.

They have not confirmed a date yet but say it will likely take place around the same time next year.

In the meantime, Nickolls and Perks is holding a gin tasting night in its cellars on Friday November 3, starting at 7pm.

Tickets are £25 and can be booked online at www.nickollsandperks.co.uk or by calling 01384 394518.
