Where we run cocktail classes in York

We run cocktail classes in townhouses, apartments, cottages and function rooms across York and North Yorkshire, including:

  • Inside the city walls
  • Micklegate
  • The Shambles and Stonegate
  • Bishopthorpe Road
  • Riverside apartments
  • Clifton and Bootham
  • Fulford and Fishergate
  • Harrogate
  • Cottages across North Yorkshire

Everything’s a short walk away

We’ve worked parties from Micklegate townhouses to apartments a minute off the Shambles since 2022. Most York groups stay inside the walls, so a class at the house fits neatly before the night out.

Serviced apartments, rented houses, offices and function rooms: if you can fit a table, we can run a class.

Perfect for

Hen weekends

A class at the townhouse is the perfect start before the Micklegate run.

Birthdays

Something everyone can join in with, from a 21st to a 90th.

Christmas parties

A smartly dressed mixologist keeps it right for the office. See our work Christmas party ideas.

Race weekends

Shake up the pre-drinks before a day at York Racecourse.

York cocktail making class FAQs

Can a butler in the buff host our class?

Yes, at no extra cost. Just choose a butler in the buff as your host when you book.

Do you come to townhouses inside the walls?

Yes. Most of our York classes happen in self-catering townhouses inside the walls. We just need a table and a bit of space.

Can we do a class before a night out?

Of course. Lots of groups book a late-afternoon class, then head out onto Micklegate. Tell us what time you want to leave and we’ll plan around it.

What do we need to provide?

Nothing. We bring the glassware, bar kit and every ingredient.

How long does it last?

Two hours, and everyone makes three or four cocktails.

Can you host a work event?

Yes. Choose a smartly dressed mixologist as your host. It works well for team socials and Christmas parties.

How far ahead should we book?

Most York groups book six to twelve weeks ahead, and Saturdays from April to June go first. We can often help at shorter notice, so it’s always worth asking.
