Parched: The Driest Event of the Year

Wednesday 8^th October 2025 sees a brand new drinks tasting splash onto the London scene.  Tom Surgey invites you to the Crypt On The Green in Farringdon – to come and try a completely non-alcoholic event brimming with extraordinary drinks to enjoy.

This is Parched – the driest event of the year – brought to you by TV drinks expert, Tom Surgey, who has been exploring the No & Low alcohol drinks space for years.  Now Tom wants to share his findings with drinks enthusiasts who are seeking new taste sensations without the alcohol.  Presented under one roof, Parched lines up the most incredible non-alcoholic drinks experiences available across the UK.

Tom comments: “I am sure you, like me, have moments where you choose not to drink alcohol.  Whether extended periods, a few days of the week, or even moments between alcoholic drinks on a night out.  Socialising during these times can prove tricky if you're keen to have something grown-up and delicious in hand.  I experienced this, so decided to dive into the fast-developing world of No & Low alcohol drinks to find the very best options available - and you know what? There are LOADS.”

At Parched, Tom brings together over one hundred different products – from non-alcoholic wines, beers and spirits to teas, kombuchas and herbal liqueurs.  For just £15 per ticket, this game-changing event promises an amazing array of non-alcoholic product categories to taste, including CBD drinks and other functional beverages that give you a natural buzz without the booze.

Ticket holders can expect a walk-around tasting and live demos to inspire you in how to select, serve and enjoy No & Low.  Drinks producers will be on hand to taste products with you and to mix drinks for you, while world-class bartenders will shake up mocktails in the Cocktail Lounge.  Taste your way around the world of No & Low, fill foaming glasses of brilliant non-alcoholic beers at the self-serve draught beer wall, and Tom is confident that you will discover some abv-free gems.

Tickets are available here.
