Pembrokeshire products will feature highly in a county venue’s first-ever Welsh drinks festival this weekend.
The Welsh Beverages Showcase is being staged by the Queens Hall, Narberth tomorrow, (Saturday April 20) and will welcome more than 25 vendors who create gin, cocktails, cider, beer, spirits, liqueurs and wine, as well as non-alcoholic drinks.
Queens Hall manager Lara Herde said that the event is being put on without external funding.
'Incredible producers'
She added: "Here at The Queens Hall, Narberth, we are passionate about supporting local producers.
"Through our local Friday market and other annual events like the Cheese Festival and the Christmas weekend, we realised there are so many incredible Welsh drinks producers that we just had to create a brand-new event to showcase them."
"With 25+ vendors showcasing quality alcoholic and non-alcoholic options - plus the odd delicious snack thrown in - the event will be a vibrant celebration of Welsh libations designed to champion these incredible family-run, award winning, local Welsh businesses."
