#GinFestival in #Coventry
On Saturday my partner and I went along to Coventry Cathedral for the Gin Festival. I am a massive gin fan, him not so much, so to be faced with more than 100 gins was going to be a challenge.
On arrival we were handed our Spanish style balloon tasting glasses, a Gin Explorers Guide and a handy across the body bag.

La Cage Aux Folles
La Cage Aux Folles is at Birmingham Hippodrome until Saturday 20th May and it is a treat to behold.
