Gin lovers are invited to raise a glass in celebration of World Cucumber Day.
Lake District Hotels in Keswick will mark the occasion for the fourth year in a row by offering guests a free Hendrick’s Gin & Fever-Tree Tonic in return for a cucumber on Friday, June 12.
The offer is available between 4pm and 5pm at three participating venues: the Back Bar at the Inn on the Square, The Kings Arms Hotel, and The Skiddaw Hotel.
Neels Ferreira, general manager at The Skiddaw Hotel, said: "World Cucumber Day has grown into one of our most talked-about events, and last year was our biggest yet.
"There is something brilliantly daft about swapping a cucumber for a G&T, and people really get behind it.
"We are hoping to see even more cucumbers through the doors this year."
The event has become a firm favourite in Keswick’s summer calendar, attracting both locals and visitors with its playful spirit.
It offers a light-hearted way to kick off the evening, whether stopping in after work, before dinner, or during a day out in the Lakes.
Last year, more than 130 free Hendrick’s Gin & Fever-Tree Tonics were served in just one hour, up from 87 the previous year, as people turned up cucumber-in-hand to take part in the fun.
The offer is limited to one drink per person and is only valid during the one-hour promotion.
