For venues

Take part in Christmas Cocktail Festival

Christmas Cocktail Festival is a city-wide celebration of festive drinking — independent bars and restaurants serving signature Christmas cocktails on a shared trail. Locals and visitors explore the city with a wristband, unlock £5 signature serves, and discover new favourites.

Signature Christmas cocktail

To take part, we ask venues to offer a signature Christmas cocktail at £5 for wristband holders during the festival window. That drink is your headline serve for the week: listed on the city trail, surfaced in festival marketing, and the reason guests walk through your door. When you’re ready, tell us about your venue and proposed serve — we’ll reply with next steps.

What you get

  • Listing on the city’s festival venue trail
  • Inclusion in festival promotion (site + social where relevant)
  • Guests already primed to try a special serve
  • A simple brief: one signature cocktail at the festival price

Edition dates and city list confirmed when you join.

Host a festival moment (optional)

Want more spotlight? Host a one-off festive event — tasting, takeover, or late session. Optional, not required. You’re in charge of the night; we’ll help shape it so it sits cleanly in the programme. Email us when you have an idea.
