Since its beginnings, the Birmingham Rum Festival has been hugely popular among those looking for a slice of paradise in Brum. It’s back in Havana Moseley celebrating its 10th anniversary this summer (Saturday, June 28) at The Cuban Embassy – with drinks, food and live music at the annual rum extravaganza.
“We are thrilled to be celebrating a decade of Birmingham Rum Festival!” said Anita Champaneri, festival organiser. “The event will be a great way to kick start the summer with live music providing a carnival atmosphere and a fantastic line up of rums providing a taste of sunshine for those dreaming of warmer climes.”
What can I expect from Birmingham Rum Festival?
This year’s festival will transform The Cuban Embassy into a vision of Havana. You can expect specially curated exotic cocktails, Carribean and Latin American-inspired street food, and live reggae beats. Plus, this celebration of all things rum offers sample blends from a host of rum brands like Seagull, Island Slice, Wildjac, Amber Bev and more!
There are two sessions available for rum fun – an afternoon option from 12pm-4pm or evening from 5pm-9pm. Early Bird tickets available from £17 which includes over 12 rum samples and a welcome cocktail. VVIP tickets are available at £60, which includes a street food meal, goody bag and premium rum flight in addition to the samples and welcome cocktail.
Nick Rendall, owner of the Cuban Embassy said: “We consider ourselves to be the city’s home of rum and over the past ten years, the festival has become an annual highlight for both our staff and rum loving Brummies. This June we are looking forward to once again brining all the feel-good festival vibes on 28th June.”
So sample new blends, chat with fellow rum enthusiasts, groove to reggae rhythms and take home a bottle or two of your favourite tipple – this is a holiday without leaving Birmingham. To learn more about the Birmingham Rum Festival, head here.
