(source: Eventbrite) Leeds Corn Exchange sees the return of Leeds’ very own Rum Festival! This year we are welcoming even more brands, more masterclasses and an extra day.

Rum brands from all across the Caribbean and South America will be joining us and offering up their wares for you to sample, as well as hosting masterclasses to give you an insight into how their brands are made and the history of them.

We will have food vendors supplying the best Jerk plus some other world cuisines to tickle your taste buds. Our DJ is also booked to supply you with the best and most appropriate soundtrack to your rum filled day.

Included in your ticket price is access to the festival, all rum sampling and masterclasses – and a welcome cocktail if you choose the VIP option.

Born from the passion of 2 Leeds Bartenders, Sam Fish of one of Leeds’ longest running institutions Mojo and Daniel Crowther, one of the founding fathers of the UK’s only constantly changing bar The Hedonist Project.

‘Over a beer and dram of rum one day we were talking about how many amazing drinks festivals Leeds has such as Leeds Loves Cocktails, The Gin Festival and Leeds Beer Festival, so why does this city that loves rum not have its own dedicated Rum Festival?! said Sam
