What Sheffield Cocktail Week does for hospitality
Sheffield Cocktail Week is about getting people out to local bars and restaurants. The venues host and pour and we bring the customers.
Real footfall
Wristband holders plan their ten days around the line-up, so venues meet people who have never been through the door, often at a quieter time of year.
Money in the till
Every signature cocktail is bought at the bar, so the money goes straight into the venue's own till, along with whatever else people order while they're in.
Awareness
The guide, the website, social ads, emails and local press put every venue taking part in front of people across Sheffield.
71Sheffield venues across 3 editions of Sheffield Cocktail Week, with 100 different signature cocktails
What Sheffield venues said
The perfect week to get people really exploring the venues the city has to offer and a lot of talented dedicated bar staff. Really a great advertisement for places that aren't just the same chain bars.

Why your local needs you
A bar or restaurant is someone's first job, a regular order for local suppliers, the place you go for birthdays and the reason Sheffield still feels alive after six o'clock.
Costs have climbed on every side: wages, energy, food, business rates and VAT. When a venue closes, the staff, the regulars and the nights out go with it. The best thing any of us can do is simple: go out and go local.

Why VAT matters
Cut hospitality VAT
In the UK, VAT on eating and drinking out is 20%. The campaign points out that France, Spain and Italy charge 10% on hospitality.
The #VATsTheProblem campaign, led by chef Tom Kerridge and backed by UKHospitality, the British Beer & Pub Association and the British Institute of Innkeeping, is asking for a 10% rate for hospitality. More than 400,000 people signed its petition before it was handed in at Downing Street on 14 October 2026.
The Budget on 28 October 2026 did not cut it, so the campaign carries on. We're behind it.
