Why groups love it

One wristband. Every bar. The whole crew.

No set menu and no single venue to squeeze everyone into. Just a night out the way your group wants it.

Cheaper together

Buy four or more wristbands in one order and every one costs less. Drinks are paid for at the bar as you go, so there's no kitty to manage.

Your route, your pace

Pick the bars you like the look of in the digital guide and the map plans a walking route between them.

Something for everyone

Every bar taking part has a signature cocktail and a mocktail, so the friend who isn't drinking is covered too.

Ten nights to choose from

The week runs for ten days, so pick the night that works for the bride, the birthday or the group chat.

FAQs

Group questions

How does the group price work?

Buy four or more group wristbands in one order and each one is cheaper than a single wristband. The price is shown for each town above, plus a booking fee per wristband.

Do we all have to go on the same night?

No. Each wristband works for all ten days of that town's Cocktail Week, so anyone who can't make the big night can still use theirs.

Are cocktails included?

No. Your wristband unlocks the Cocktail Week prices and offers. You pay for each drink at the bar.

Where do we collect the wristbands?

Each town has collection points in the week before it starts. The times and places are on that town's page.

Can we get a refund if someone drops out?

We don't offer refunds on Cocktail Week wristbands.

Is it 18+?

Yes. Cocktail Week is 18+ and venues may ask for ID.

Why it matters

Built to put people through local doors

No two Cocktail Weeks are the same. Each one is built with the venues, drinks brands and bartenders of that place, and every attendee who walks through a door is money spent in local hospitality.

Made for each location

Every event is built around the venues and bartenders that make that town's hospitality scene worth going out for.

The best venues and drinks

Signature serves created for the week, leading drinks brands and the area's top bartenders, all in one place.

Real footfall for real businesses

Ten days of people actively looking for somewhere new to go. That's the point of it.

How it works

Three steps to your best week out

  1. Find your location

    Pick your town to see the venues, cocktails and offers taking part.

  2. Get your wristband

    Buy online, then collect your wristband from a collection point before or during the week.

  3. Get out there

    Show your wristband for signature cocktails from £5 and exclusive deals, as often as you like for ten days.

Our safety partner

Feel unsafe? Ask for Angela

Ask for Angela is a national safety scheme for anyone who feels uncomfortable, vulnerable or unsafe on a night out. Quietly ask a member of staff for "Angela" and trained staff at participating venues will help, whether that's getting you out safely, a safe place to wait or more help.

The success of the first York Cocktail Week was overwhelming. It's been a great week for hospitality and hopefully will have repeat customers who have enjoyed the experience.

The founder

Meet Alice Christison

Alice created Cocktail Week to celebrate and support hospitality. What began as a single event now runs in more than 25 locations across the UK and Ireland. Alice and the team at M.AD Agency work closely with local venues and brand partners so each event reflects what makes that town's bar scene special.

"From day one, we've put venues at the heart of everything we do. We make sure they feel supported and see real results."Alice Christison, founder
