Evening session of the Summerton Whisky Festival with distilleries, independent bottlers and whisky specialists pouring samples, masterclasses and food, for adults over 18s.
The Summerton Whisky Festival returns to The Lower Red Lion on Saturday 15 May 2027, with the evening session running from 17:00 to 21:30. It's a day of whisky exploration, and the evening is when the pub fills with distilleries, independent bottlers and whisky specialists pouring a wide range of drams. You'll find single malts, blends and whiskies from around the world, and the exhibitors are there to talk through what they're pouring, so it's as much about the conversation as the tasting.
Running alongside the tasting are masterclasses led by experts, and there's food available on site with vegan, vegetarian and meat options to keep you going. Every participant takes home a souvenir glass, which is a nice thing to keep after the night is over. The festival is aimed at everyone from those new to whisky to seasoned enthusiasts, and it's for adults over 18s only.
The venue is The Lower Red Lion, a neighbourhood pub at 34-36 Fishpool Street in St Albans. It's described as child-free and dog-friendly, with a changing beer selection and a garden; the evening session is held indoors. Dogs are welcome at the festival, so if you've got a four-legged companion, they can come along too.
