What exactly is London Cocktail Week?
Only the biggest and most lavish cocktail festival London (and the rest of the world!) has ever seen. This year’s London cocktail week dates run from the 3rd to the 13th of October, and takes place throughout the city.
The event was first launched in 2010 and was the first of its kind around the globe. In short, it’s the best way to discover all the wonders of the bustling London bar and cocktail scene first-hand.

How to enjoy £8 cocktails
One of the best bits about the London Cocktail Week is the £8 cocktails! Each participating venue chooses to showcase at least one signature drink at this very palatable price point and will be serving it up to festival attendees who have an official 2024 London Cocktail Week wristband. Some may offer a £6 non-alcoholic or £12 Champagne cocktail as well.
Please note that visitors who enjoy the festival setting in a group will each be required to have a wristband to take advantage of the special £8 cocktails – these cannot be purchased as a round by a single buyer with the sole wristband in a group.
How to buy wristbands for London Cocktail Week 2024
In order to get your official London Cocktail Week wristband, you will need to purchase a ticket beforehand. These are priced between £16.67 – £20.00 and available to over-18s only. Wristbands can be purchased directly from any of the bars taking part in the festival OR if you buy your ticket online via DesignMyNight. Wristbands can be collected from any of the participating bars once the festival begins on Thursday 3rd October.
