The ad is now live on Sky via Adsmart until December 19 across channels including Sky One, Sky Sports and Sky Cinema - as well as major mainstream channels such as Channel 4 and Comedy Central.

Slingsby partnered with local video agency Fresh Cut Creative based in Leeds, to capture the spirit of Harrogate and deliver it to TV screens.

If viewers keep their eyes peeled, they will spot Rudding Park’s Kitchen Garden in a few of the scenes too – as home of the hand-grown local plants which are a key ingredient used in Slingsby Gin.

Co-founder of Spirit of Harrogate, Marcus Black said: “It’s a dream come true for us to bring Slingsby to millions of TV screens.

"Our loyal fan base mean so much to us and without your support we wouldn’t be the number one choice for Rhubarb Gin – so thank you so much for supporting us, especially in what has been a really difficult year.

"We’re so proud of the ad and have really enjoyed working with local suppliers who have so perfectly captured our brand ethos, and we hope you all agree that our love for our home-town of Harrogate shines through. ”

Slingsby is hoping its new Slingsby Yorkshire Rhubarb Bundle luxury gift set is the perfect present for friends and family this festive season.
