Raise a glass to York

We started Cocktail Week for one reason: to get people out supporting local hospitality. Bars and restaurants are the heart of a town and they work hard all year round. For 10 days, we bring the whole city together behind them, with signature cocktails created just for the week, mocktails at every venue and a reason to try somewhere new. Every wristband means more people through local doors and more money staying in York.

FAQs

Good to know

What is Cocktail Week?

Ten full days. Two weekends. Plenty of places to discover. Cocktail Week brings together the best bars and restaurants across York with exclusive cocktails from £5, mocktail and food offers. Buy a wristband and explore the city at your own pace.

How does the wristband work?

Buy your wristband online, collect it at an official collection point and wear it when you visit participating venues. Show it when ordering to unlock their Cocktail Week cocktails and offers. You pay each venue directly for your drinks and food.

Can I visit more than one venue?

Absolutely. Your wristband works across all participating venues for the full event. Try somewhere new, return to a favourite or spread your plans across both weekends.

Where can I see the venues and offers?

Browse the e-guide on this page to plan your stops. You'll also get a printed guide with a map when you collect your wristband.

Why are there different ticket prices?

Every wristband unlocks the same offers. Tickets are released in price stages, so the earlier you book the less you pay. Any booking fee is shown at checkout. (Top tip: save the most with our Group tickets!)

Where do I collect my wristband?

Collection points, dates and opening hours are listed on our website and also emailed to you. Bring your barcode ready to scan. You can collect before the event or pick it up before your first venue visit.

Can I come for the mocktails?

Of course. We love mocktails just as much as we love cocktails! Every participating venue offers a mocktail and many have food deals too. Have a look through the guide and see what takes your fancy.

Do I need to book a table?

That depends on the venue. Your wristband doesn't guarantee entry or a table, so book directly where bookings are available. It's especially worth planning ahead for food or busy weekend evenings.

When are the offers available?

Cocktail Week offers run throughout the event during participating venues' normal opening hours. Check the guide for venue details and booking information.

Can I get a refund?

We don't offer refunds on Cocktail Week wristbands.

Who can go?

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

Need a hand?

Email hello@cocktail-week.com with York and booking reference if you have one. For urgent questions during the event, call 07754 189052 or message our Instagram.

How can I sign up my venue?

Complete York's registration form, then submit your offers through the deals form so we can create your listing. If you're registering several venues, complete a form for each location.

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 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
