The Husk Rum Harvest Fest is back, and it’s bigger than ever! From August 12-18, join us for a week-long celebration of the cane harvest and our vibrant community. The festival is packed with daily activities and special ticketed events, showcasing the best of local culture, food, Husk Rum, and our dedicated cane farmers. Highlights include the Grower’s Competition, where farmers can compete for cash prizes and bragging rights for the biggest stalk. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate and support our local heroes while enjoying the finest rum and festivities.

Husk Rum Tasting Club + Campfire Supper

To celebrate the exclusive and limited release of Husk Porter Cask ACR, which will be officially released on the August 16, join Founder Paul Messenger and Head Distiller Quentin Brival for the first Husk Rum Tasting Club to sample this extremely rare rum and tap a barrel to try Husk Rum straight from the source. Then head down to the campfire and enjoy a supper of damper, savoury mince and a warming hot buttered rum.
