Sussex Gin Festival Announces Headline Act

Symphonic Ibiza have been announced as the headline act for the "UK's biggest Gin Festival" being held in Sussex on Saturday July 8.

Their 90-minute set will feature some of the most famous Ibiza club anthems from the last 30 years.

It's the biggest headline act the festival has ever had, and David Hill, CEO of event organiser E3 Events, says it's a huge coup.

David said:

"We are so excited to have Symphonic Ibiza appearing this year. They are massive on the summer festival circuit, and we are lucky to get them.

"We have also just partnered with the iconic Ibiza brand Cafe Del Mar and we will be serving Cafe Del Mar gin on the day. This will be the biggest gin fest party ever!"

The event is taking place at the picturesque 2,300 acres estate of Borde Hill in Haywards Heath from noon until 9pm.

For 2023, there are some new attractions including celebrity chefs and a Festival Market.

• Celebrity chefs, including host Steven Edwards from award-winning restaurant Etch.

David said: 

"We cannot wait to welcome thousands of people to this year's Festival.

"Last year's was an outstanding success, and now we want to make it even bigger.

"It is going to be a huge day and we encourage people to book their tickets as soon as possible.

"We've gone big this year on celebrity chefs as well as focusing on the craftsmanship of independent Sussex, British and worldwide gin distillers.
