This is the perfect opportunity to ease yourself into the week ahead. Our first party of the festival includes a free gin and tonic upon entry (first-come, first-served) and is hosted by Doubletree, a picturesque venue with a view of the city walls. Pop in, grab a drink and make some new connections – you never know who you might meet, or the friends you might make during this exciting edition of the festival.
