Galentine’s Day Brunch

Who doesn’t love brunch? A relaxed morning spent catching up with your closest, over delicious breakfast and coffee. It’s a more casual get-together, great if you can only spare a few hours on a Saturday morning. Of course, going for bottomless brunch is an option if you wish to step up the game.

With the guidance of this class, you’ll be the host stirring up margaritas’ and espresso martinis in no time at all.

Sit back and sip with a gin-tasting class, with informal but informative expertise, and absorb the history of what goes into a beloved G&T.

You even end the session by taking home a 70c bottle of your own gin making it the perfect Galentine’s gift idea too! There are plenty of bars in Leeds to explore too, if you want to continue your night out.
