Gower Gin joins St David’s Day food and drink showcase at Spitalfields Market

Taking place on Saturday, February 28th, and Sunday, March 1st, and set within one of London’s most historic food destinations, the market will feature a dozen Welsh food and drink producers, and will celebrate Wales’ position as a modern food nation that produces world-class food and drink.

Gower Gin, known for its premium selection of craft gins inspired by the area’s coastal landscape and locally foraged botanicals will feature among the curated selection of producers. Its product range includes its signature Dry Gower Gin, which is infused with coastal botanicals like sea buckthorn, samphire, and wild herbs, as well as limited edition products including its Gower Pink Gin, made from locally sourced red fruits and the barrel-aged Gower Coastal Reserve.

Cwm Farm Charcuterie, an award-winning producer specialising in expertly cured meats and champions slow food, traditional skills, and high-welfare Welsh pork, will also be in attendance on the day.

Andrew Brooks, Founder and Director of the Gower Gin Company said:

“This opportunity to attend such a prestigious event in a great location in the heart of London will allow us to showcase our award-winning spirits products to a whole new audience.

“Since our launch almost 9 years ago, we have diversified from just being a gin distiller into the production of whisky, vodka, vermouths, and liqueurs. We are very proud of our Welsh roots and hope to bring some ‘hwyl’ to London to celebrate this important St David’s Day event.”

Spitalfields Market, with its rich trading heritage and reputation for outstanding produce, provides the perfect backdrop to tell the story of Welsh food and drink to a London audience.

Over the weekend, visitors will be invited to discover products that reflect the quality, character, and ambition of contemporary Wales – from heritage-inspired favourites to innovative, modern brands.

Celebrating St David’s Day through food

The Spitalfields showcase forms part of a wider St David’s Day celebration being organised by Food & Drink Wales, the Welsh Government’s food division, which alongside its vital role in supporting and nurturing the sector, uses food and drink as a powerful way to express national identity, creativity and pride.

From artisan producers to established Welsh brands, the events will highlight how Wales’s food and drink scene is shaped by its landscape and brought to life by the people who make it.

Deputy First Minister with responsibility for Climate Change and Rural Affairs, Huw Irranca-Davies MS said:

“St David’s Day is the perfect moment to celebrate the exceptional quality and creativity of Welsh food and drink producers. From award-winning charcuterie to innovative craft spirits, the businesses showcasing at Spitalfields represent the very best of what Wales has to offer.

“Our food and drink sector is built on strong foundations -protected geographical status, sustainable farming practices and generations of skilled production. But it’s also a sector that continues to evolve, with producers combining their heritage with fresh ideas and ambitious growth plans.

“Events like this are vital for connecting Welsh businesses with new markets and demonstrating to buyers across the UK that Wales is a modern food nation with products that can compete at the highest level.”
