Frequently asked questions about cocktail classes in Oxford

Can I book a cocktail class in Oxford during St Giles' Fair (September)?

Yes, you can absolutely book during St Giles’ Fair! We love working during big events in Oxford. Just be aware that the wide boulevard of St Giles’ is completely closed to traffic. We only allow 30 minutes for setup so if road access is a little tricky, we recommend mentioning St Giles’ Fair 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 Oxford and Oxford Brookes University?

We certainly can! We regularly run cocktail classes for students at the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University. 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.

Is parking included for bookings in Oxford city centre?

Yes, all parking costs are included in your booking price. Oxford city centre has very limited parking and an expanding Zero Emission Zone. Park and Ride services are strongly recommended if you need to give guests directions. Our team are experienced at finding parking in Oxford and will sort everything themselves. You do not need to worry about arranging a space for us.

Can your team access venues near Cornmarket Street and Queen Street in Oxford with all the equipment?

Yes. While Cornmarket Street and Queen Street is pedestrianised, we are experienced at finding nearby drop-off points and loading bays. Our equipment is designed to be portable, so a short walk from the nearest vehicle access point is no problem at all. We may need to book additional setup time for pedestrianised locations, so please enquire about this before booking and we can advise.

Do you cover areas outside Oxford in Oxfordshire?

Yes, we cover all of Oxford and the surrounding Oxfordshire area. We also offer cocktail making classes in Stratford-upon-Avon and cocktail classes in Reading. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK! Whether your venue is in the heart of Oxford or further out in Oxfordshire, we will be there.

How far in advance should I book a cocktail class in Oxford?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings and during popular periods in Oxford. 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.
