Modern couples are shying away from boozy weekends away for their hen/stag or sten dos, opting for more low-key get-togethers doing fun activities. However, you really can't beat the atmosphere of a festival, so cast your eye over the latest launch from mindful drinking movement, Club Soda.
The Mindful Drinking Festival at Brighton's famous Open Market, is on from the 9th-10th July. The free-to-attend two day event, supported by supported by Noughty Alcohol Free Sparkling Wines, will showcase over 40 of the best low and no-alcohol drinks available, with visitors able to taste craft beers, wines, spirits, lower-sugar sodas, tonics and infusions.
The festival also hosts cocktail masterclasses, beer tastings and drink talks with local experts, as well as inspirational talks and panels on changing drinking habits and living healthier lifestyles.
Club Soda founder Laura Willoughby MBE, said: "A festival in Brighton has been a long-time in the planning. We are so glad this is our first big event after covid. You don't have to be alcohol-free come along, you may just want to swap out a few alcoholic drinks for something a bit healthier. So, whether you're going sugar-free, on a fitness regime, drinking more mindfully, or going alcohol-free, we think you will find something to hit the spot."
Amanda Thomson founder of Noughty Alcohol Free Sparkling Wines, said: "It's such a pleasure to be partnering with Club Soda for this inspired festival. Brighton is the perfect summer location for our alcohol-free bubbles. We very much look forward to popping corks with everyone in the South East!"
