London Cocktail Week is returning for its 13th year, and this time is set for 13-23 October 2022. This year’s event will take place over two weekends and features Little Cocktail Villages across London, more on that below. Additionally, visitors will be able to enjoy £7 cocktails, immersive experiences and takeovers in London’s best bars.
For the first time, the organisers are bringing Little Cocktail Villages to the festival line-up. The four ‘micro-hubs’ will be dotted across the city, popping up in Belgravia, Borough Yards, Covent Garden, and Devonshire Square – and will each host a collection of immersive pop-up bars, all serving up delicious cocktails. Entry is completely free and London Cocktail Week wristband wearers get to enjoy drinks at the festival price of £7. The Little Cocktail Villages act as the ideal place to start an evening before exploring the fantastic bars across the capital taking part in the festival.
Wristbands can be purchased for £15 via London Cocktail Week’s official website and allow the wearer access to specially created Signature Cocktails in 300 of London’s best bars for just £7. The list of participating bars includes some of the world’s leading drinking destinations, including Tāyer + Elementary, Blue Bar at The Berkeley, Punch Room at The London Edition and Artesian at The Langham, plus some of London’s most exciting new openings, including Seed Library, The Aubrey at Mandarin Oriental and Soda & Friends.
There will also be a full schedule of brilliant events, from the festival’s seven major drinks portfolio partners – Amber Beverage UK, Bacardi-Martini, Brown-Forman UK, Edrington UK, Moët Hennessy UK, Pernod Ricard UK, and Remy Cointreau UK, alongside more than 30 individual drinks brands. The line-up will feature masterclasses, dinners, parties, and takeovers, with bartenders from all over the world flying in to shake up delicious drinks in venues across London.
