Birmingham Cocktail Weekend returns from 22 – 25 October with £6 cocktails, £5 mocktails, £9 cocktail & snack pairings, free gaming, an exclusive pop-up, masterclasses, special events and more!
Birmingham’s biggest cocktail festival is back this month – Birmingham Cocktail Weekend returns for its Winter Edition from Thursday 22 to Sunday 25 October 2026.
Across four days, cocktail lovers will be able to explore some of the city’s best bars and enjoy an exclusive £6 signature cocktail at every participating venue with their festival wristband.
And for the Winter Edition, there’s even more on the menu. Selected venues will be serving special £9 cocktail and snack pairings, combining their festival cocktail with a perfectly matched bite and giving festivalgoers plenty of opportunities to nibble as they make their way around the city.
Not drinking? No problem. Every participating venue will also be serving a £5 no-alcohol cocktail.
A Cocktail Weekend wristband gives festivalgoers access to offers throughout all four days of the festival, so there’s no need to cram everything into one night. Whether it’s after-work drinks on Thursday, a big Friday night out or a more leisurely weekend exploring Birmingham’s bar scene, wristband wearers can dip in and out of the festival as much as they like.
It’s not just cocktails either, festivalgoers can also get their competitive fix as a wristband also unlocks free gaming experiences at some of Birmingham’s biggest entertainment venues like F1® Arcade, TOCA Social, Flight Club and Clays.
A programme of special events will run alongside the main festival, with recently announced experiences including a social 5K run, a special screening of cult classic Cocktail, and a series of cocktail masterclasses.
Alex Nicholson-Evans, Festival Director said:
“We’re so excited for the Winter Edition of Birmingham Cocktail Weekend. We’ll be kicking things off at The Hub at The Mailbox and we’ve got some fantastic venues for our cocktail lovers to explore, including one of the city’s newest arrivals, Blacklock and an exclusive pop-up bar in Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery’s iconic Round Room – it’s shaping up to be a fantastic long weekend.”
Birmingham Cocktail Weekend Winter Edition takes place Thursday 22 – Sunday 25 October 2026. Wristbands cost just £13 +booking fee and give access to the festival for all four days, including £6 signature cocktails, £5 no-alcohol cocktails, £9 cocktail and snack pairings, free gaming experiences, food offers and the festival’s programme of special events.
