Frequently asked questions about cocktail classes in Derby
Can I book a cocktail class in Derby during Derby Festé (September)?
Yes, you can absolutely book during Derby Festé! We love working during big events in Derby. Just be aware that streets around the Market Place may have temporary closures. We only allow 30 minutes for setup so if road access is a little tricky, we recommend mentioning Derby Festé when you book and we can advise on whether to allow some extra setup time.
Can you set up at student accommodation near the University of Derby?
We certainly can! We regularly run cocktail classes for students at the University of Derby. 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.
What if my venue in the city centre near the Cathedral Quarter in Derby 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 Derby in Derbyshire?
Yes, we cover all of Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. We also offer cocktail making classes in Sheffield and cocktail classes in Stoke-on-Trent. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK! Whether your venue is in the heart of Derby or further out in Derbyshire, we will be there.
What if my Derby venue does not have much space?
We do not need a lot of room. A dining table, breakfast bar or any flat surface is perfect. Your mixologists bring a complete portable cocktail kit including chopping boards, shakers and all the tools needed. We have set up in living rooms, gardens, hotel suites and even garages. If in doubt, just send us a photo of the space and we will let you know.
Do you bring everything needed for the cocktail class?
Yes, absolutely everything is included. We bring all spirits, mixers, syrups, fresh garnishes, ice, glassware and bar equipment. All you need to provide is the venue and your guests. We handle the setup and the tidying up afterwards too.
