Multi award-winning Plantation rum will be serving lashings of pineapple Daiquiri slushies, Mai Tais and hosting rum tasting sessions of some diverse island rums.
All food dishes and drinks will be £6 (aside from the rum tasting flights), tokens will be available to buy on the day from the token booths.
