(Silly question…of course you do), well experience them like never before with London’s award-winning tropical-escape bar, Laki Kane and famed tiki bar, Trailer Happiness, who will be serving up new bespoke rum cocktails alongside your favourite signature serves.

With all the rum tasting and cocktails you’ll need to line your stomach, RumFest has got that covered with mouthwatering traditional Caribbean cuisine provided by Heart & Soul.
