Why It Matters

Supporting and Celebrating Local Hospitality

Every Cocktail Week is tailor-made to its location. We work with the very best venues, drinks brands and bartenders to create something genuinely special to that place — and every attendee who walks through the door is a direct investment in the local hospitality scene.

🍸

Tailor-Made for Every Location

No two Cocktail Weeks are the same. Each event is built around the venues, brands and bartenders that make that place’s hospitality scene great.

The Best Venues, Drinks and Talent

We bring together outstanding venues, leading drinks brands and the area’s top bartenders to create an experience worth celebrating.

🤝

Real Support for Real Businesses

Every attendee during Cocktail Week puts real footfall through the door of businesses that need their community’s support. That’s what this is for.

Alice Christison

Founder — Cocktail Week

Alice created Cocktail Week with a vision to celebrate and support the hospitality industry across the UK and Ireland. What began as a single event has grown into the biggest celebration of cocktail culture in the UK and Ireland — reaching over 25 locations and bringing together hundreds of the very best venues, drinks brands and bartenders in each one.

Every Cocktail Week is tailor-made to its location. Alice and the team work closely with local venues and brand partners to build events that genuinely reflect and celebrate what makes each place’s hospitality scene special. The results speak for themselves.

“From day one, we’ve put venues at the heart of everything we do. We make sure they feel supported and see real results.”
