About Cocktail Week

We get people out to local bars, town by town.

Cocktail Week is the ten-day cocktail festival that comes to your town: one wristband, with a signature cocktail and a mocktail in every bar taking part. It started in Dundee in 2022 to help hospitality bounce back after Covid, and today it runs across the UK and Ireland, built with each town's bars, bartenders, drinks brands and local partners.

Behind it is M.AD Agency, a Dundee marketing and events company that has spent years getting people out of the house and through a door, from student nights and clubs to campaigns for local and national brands. Our partners range from local BIDs and councils to drinks companies like Diageo.

The founder

Meet Alice Christison

Alice created Cocktail Week to celebrate and support hospitality. What began as a single event in Dundee has now been held in 23 towns and cities 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

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.

Safe, welcoming nights out

We support Ask for Angela

Cocktail Week is proud to support Ask for Angela, the national campaign that helps bars and restaurants keep creating safe, welcoming spaces for everyone. If you ever want a hand on a night out, just ask a member of staff for "Angela" at a participating venue and they'll quietly 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.
