The Norwich Pimm's, Gin and Prosecco Festival takes place this Saturday August 4 to Sunday 5 and will be a quintessential British garden party.
Nothing says summer like a cold glass of Pimm's crammed full of fruit or a G&T on the rocks with a wedge of lemon.
The event will take place in Gibraltar Gardens in Heigham Street overlooking the River Wensum and there will be delicious food on offer including wood-fired pizza, crepes and pancakes and halloumi fries.

Adam Coulton, owner of East Anglian events, said: 'My business partner Danny Banthorpe and I already organise music events in the region but we wanted to do something different so decided on the three big players - Pimm's, gin and prosecco.
'It's hard to compete with the big national companies who bring these kind of festivals to the area but we want people to support us as local promoters - we are two local guys who live in the area.
