Terms and conditions

These terms apply when you buy or use a Cocktail Week wristband and when you use cocktailweek.com. Please read them before you buy.

About us

Cocktail Week is run by M.AD Agency Limited, a company registered in Scotland (company number SC685175), registered office Unit 10, District 10, Greenmarket, Dundee, Scotland, DD1 4QB. Contact us at hello@cocktail-week.com. Cocktail Week® is a registered trade mark.

1. Buying a wristband

1.1 Wristbands are sold through Fatsoma. Fatsoma's own terms of sale also apply to your purchase. Prices are shown on the event page, and a booking fee is added at checkout.

1.2 Group wristband prices apply to each wristband when four or more are bought together in one order.

1.3 Each wristband release (for example early bird or advance) is available in limited numbers or for a limited time. The price you pay is the one shown when you buy.

2. Who can go

2.1 Cocktail Week is for people aged 18 and over. Venues may ask for photo ID and can refuse to serve anyone who can't show it.

2.2 Venues must follow licensing law and can refuse service to anyone who appears drunk, or under their own house rules. No refund is given if a venue refuses you service.

3. Collecting and using your wristband

3.1 You'll get one barcode for each wristband you buy. Show it at a collection point to swap it for your wristband. Collection points and times are on your town's page.

3.2 Your wristband is for one person and must be worn and shown when you order. It can't be shared or swapped once it's on.

3.3 We can't replace wristbands that are lost, damaged or removed.

4. Cocktails and offers

4.1 Your wristband unlocks the Cocktail Week price for each venue's signature cocktail and mocktail, plus any extra offers listed for that venue. It doesn't include any drinks or food. You pay for each one at the venue.

4.2 Prices, cocktails and offers are set by each venue and are available during the event dates and the venue's opening hours, while stocks last. Some offers have their own conditions, which we show next to them.

4.3 Venues taking part, their cocktails and their offers can change before or during the event. We'll keep your town's page up to date, but a change to the line-up isn't a reason for a refund.

4.4 Venues are independent businesses and are responsible for their premises, service, food and drink.

5. Refunds, changes and cancellation

5.1 Wristbands can't be refunded or exchanged, except as set out below or where the law says otherwise.

5.2 If we cancel your town's Cocktail Week entirely, you'll get a full refund of the price you paid for your wristband. If we move it to new dates, you can keep your wristband for the new dates or ask for a refund.

5.3 Refunds are made through Fatsoma to the card you paid with.

6. Looking after yourself and others

Please drink responsibly, look after your friends and get home safely. Every venue taking part serves a mocktail, so nobody has to drink alcohol to join in. For advice on alcohol, visit drinkaware.co.uk.

7. Votes, competitions and sign-ups

7.1 Where we run a vote for the favourite cocktail, it's one vote per person. We may remove votes that look automated or duplicated, and our decision on the result is final.

7.2 Competitions and giveaways have their own terms, which we publish with each one.

8. Using this website

8.1 We work hard to keep venue, cocktail and offer details accurate, but they come from the venues and can change. Please check with the venue if something is important to you.

8.2 Maps, walking routes and walking times are a guide only. Take care when travelling between venues.

8.3 The site's design, text, photos and the Cocktail Week® name and logo belong to us or the people who license them to us. Please don't copy or reuse them without our permission.

8.4 We may link to other websites, such as Fatsoma and venue websites. We're not responsible for their content.

9. Our responsibility to you

9.1 Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can't be limited by law. Your legal rights as a consumer aren't affected.

9.2 We're not responsible for losses we couldn't reasonably have foreseen, or for events outside our reasonable control.

10. The law that applies

These terms are governed by the law of Scotland. If you live elsewhere in the UK or in Ireland, you can also bring a claim in your local courts, and you keep the protections of your local consumer law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page when you buy your wristband is the one that applies to your purchase.

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.
