Preview: The Tequila Festival is coming to Manchester

The Tequila Festival arrives at Bowlers Manchester on 26th August, as part of a national tour of 16 major cities around the UK.

Guests on arrival will be greeted with a complimentary shot and a Tequila Bible. The day will be filled with traditional Mexican dancers, a Mariachi band providing live music and DJs spinning house music with a Latin twist.

Tickets are on sale here from just £16 (with a table for 6 people available for £80).

Tequila has been steadily growing in popularity. Its versatility means it forms the basis for some stunning cocktails including a personal favourite the classic Margarita. Ordering shots of tequila is often a ritual on a night out, however it is also a drink with rich cultural heritage which will be shown at this wonderful festival.

The Tequila Festival organiser, Nathan Reed said: “tequila is a drink that is associated with a great party all across the world, however, it is also now being recognised as a more sophisticated, crafted drink with a rich variety of flavours.”

The Tequila Festival will celebrate the Mexican roots of Tequila, showcasing the huge variety of tastes cultivated from the Agave plant.

Tickets are selling fast for the London debut event as well as for The Tequila Festivals coming up in Manchester, Cardiff, Newcastle, Brighton, Leeds, Birmingham, Glasgow, Bristol, Swansea, Lincoln, Exeter, Cheltenham, Belfast, Dublin, and Edinburgh.
