A Brigg pub is getting ready to serve up a real tonic - the town's first Gin Festival.
The District Lions' annual Beer Festival is long-established and a number of pubs have held their own ale fests, going back to the 1990s when Bob Nicholson was mine host at the old Queen's Arms.
But now the Nelthorpe Arms, on Bridge Street, is to do something different with what it is calling Brigg's first Gin Festival - the spirit being increasingly popular these days.
The Bridge Street pub's festival will be on Saturday, March 24, from 6pm to 10pm.
Tickets - costing £10 - include entry, free samples, a goodie bag and a gin balloon glass to take home.
A saxophonist will be adding to the atmosphere while folk sip from a selection of 50 brands.
The festival's slogan is "For the love of gin."
Call at the hostelry during opening hours (not Mondays or Tuesdays) to find out more and buy your tickets. We gather they are selling well. So don't leave it too long.

Gin seems to have originated in the Middle East....moving to Europe...
It became popular with British troops during the Eighty Years War (?1550-1640???) and gave rise to the saying, 'Dutch Courage'.
In artistic terms, the Hogarth's, 'Gin Lane' painting has become one of the most anti-drinking posters...
In-case folks don't know about the Eighty Year War....it was the backdrop to a number of significant historical events....Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation.. Henry 8th..Elizabeth 1st...Spanish Amada...Spain..Guy Fawkes (fought for Spain in Holland)...William of Orange..Ireland..English Civil War..Ollie Cromwell...etc...each separate and complete event revolving around power and religious intolerance..
