We are The Rum Festival and we love Scotland! You asked and we delivered! Back for 2022 - are you ready to Rum?

With more than 100 different rums, cocktails, dancing, new and exclusive rums, sampling from Rum brands and our amazing house bands we are the Rum Festival.

On arrival you will be greeted by one of our Rumun’s; handed your Rum Festival glass (a gift for you to take home!) and a brochure, full of information on all the rums you can try, fun facts about each of our suppliers and the suggested garnish to compliment your drink.

Throughout the event there will be live entertainment and dancing; tasty food to buy and above all lots of fun. If you’re new to rum don’t worry, our friendly Rumun’s will recommend a few to get you going or tell you all about their favourites.

At our Edinburgh event we’re also bringing our Rum Festival cocktail team, who will mix you some of the tastiest rum cocktails on the planet all just £9 each!

We're also working with some great brands who will be offering samples of their rums and telling you all about their amazing products. A minimum of 10 free samples are included with your ticket!
