Mother's Ruin: The History of Gin

Newark Town Hall, 7th July, 7.00pm-9.00pm. £12/£10 Festival Friends. A Newark Book Festival event. Join Mildred Freeman, The Lady Historian, to explore the wonderful and downright naughty history of glorious gin. Starting in the early 1100s and travelling through to our modern gin revolution allow Mildred to regale you with tales of bravery, plague, royalty, law, fuddled Georgians, and intoxicated sailors. (With one or two Music Hall songs thrown in for good measure!) Includes a Gin tasting experience and a tasting platter of nibbles. Thank you to our partners, Spirit of Trent Gin. Book early to avoid disappointment.
