Frequently asked questions about cocktail classes in Colchester
Can you access venues in Colchester's historic Dutch Quarter?
Yes! The Dutch Quarter has some gorgeous event spaces and Airbnbs. While some streets are narrow, we know how to navigate them and there are nearby drop-off points. Our portable equipment means a short walk is no problem at all. We may need to book additional setup time for tricky access locations, so please enquire before booking and we can advise.
Can you set up at student accommodation near the University of Essex nearby in Wivenhoe Park?
We certainly can! We regularly run cocktail classes for students at the University of Essex nearby in Wivenhoe Park. Student halls, shared houses, rented flats and any other type of accommodation all work perfectly. As long as there is a table or flat surface for us to set up on, we will make it work.
Can you navigate Colchester's historic streets with all your equipment?
Absolutely. We regularly set up at venues in historic city centres and Colchester is no exception. We know how to find access points and loading bays near restricted areas. Our cocktail equipment is fully portable, so narrow streets and pedestrianised zones are not an issue. We may need to book additional setup time for tricky access locations, so please enquire about this before booking and we can advise on exactly what is needed.
What if my venue in the town centre near the High Street in Colchester does not have parking nearby?
No problem at all. Your mixologists are used to city centre setups across the UK. All parking costs are included in your booking and our team will find suitable parking near your venue, whether that is an NCP, pay-and-display, or a residential street. You do not need to arrange anything for us.
Do you cover areas outside Colchester in Essex?
Yes, we cover all of Colchester and the surrounding Essex area. We also offer cocktail making classes in Norwich and cocktail classes in Canterbury. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK! Whether your venue is in the heart of Colchester or further out in Essex, we will be there.
How far in advance should I book a cocktail class in Colchester?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings and during popular periods in Colchester. That said, we are flexible and can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings. Get in touch and we will do our best to find a date and time that works for you.
