Now in its fourth year and running all weekend long from Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd of August, the weekend includes gin tastings, cocktails on arrival, and the iconic ‘Shellie’ — frozen Oyster Shell Gin served straight from the shell. With live music, shucking action, drink specials and plenty of oysters to go around, it’s set to be a shell of a time!
