Following a sold-out debut in 2022, Tequila Town returns this August Bank Holiday weekend (25 – 27 August) to Peckham’s Copeland Gallery. With over 20 different tequila & mezcal tipples from highly-rated craft UK brands, London’s agave wonderland is guaranteed to provide your tequila fix!
The Drinks
Think tequila’s not your thing? We’re pretty sure after an hour or two at Tequila Town you’ll have changed your mind! Lucky festival goers can sample a plethora of delicious agave tipples from London-based tequila connoisseurs such as Tiempo tequila, a hand-crafted artisan tequila made over the course of eight years; el Rayo, a tequila made from 100% pure blue agave; Hacien, a smooth aromatic pineapple flavoured tequila; and Ocho, awarded “worlds best tequila” by Forbes.
And for all you mezcal monsters, don’t worry – Tequila Town has you covered. The lovely people from Collective Spirits will be quenching your thirst with smoky Oaxacan mezcals, Don Amado, Cimarron and Picaflor; and mezcal masters QuiQuiRiQui will be showcasing their small batch, made-to-order spirit.
The Tacos
Now with great tequila, there must be great tacos, right? Tequila Town more than has you covered. The culinary wizards from The Leytonstone Tavern will be serving up some of the best Mexican street food this side of the Atlantic.
Their award-winning chefs brought the goods last year with five different taco options to mix ‘n’ match at your pleasure; with the charred cauliflower vegan option and achiote pulled pork being crowned the fan favourites. Another show stealer was the chilli sausage croquetas with lime aioli, and of course, there are plenty of fully loaded nachos for you and the crew to share.
We are told this year they have some new fusion surprises on the menu – trust us, you don’t want to miss out on the action!
The Tunes
Completing the trinity of tequila, tacos and tunes is a selection of fine South London DJs from Stevie Wonderland, Tropic Selections, Off The Record and many more. All this in one of the most beautifully preserved warehouses in the whole of London, Peckham’s Copeland Gallery.
Tequila Town takes place at Peckham’s Copeland Gallery (Unit 9I, 133 Copeland Road, SE15 3SN) on Friday 25th August (5:30pm – 10:30pm), Saturday 26th August (12:00pm – 10:30pm) and Sunday 27th August (12:00pm – 10:30pm).
