NEW small batch gins, Island favourite's Mermaid Gin and even some gin and tonic cupcakes.

It's the Isle of Wight Gin Festival this weekend!

The popular event for gin lovers will take place at Quay Arts on Saturday and Sunday.

There will be a programme of live music, including performances by JC Grimshaw and family and Greg Barnes.

The event raises funds for the Wight Brainy Bunch charity.

Organiser Helen Long prides herself on sourcing new small batch gins for the event, which gives an opportunity to sample a selection. Tickets include tasting tokens.
