Cocktail Making Classes in Arnold & Carlton
We bring the full cocktail bar to houses across Arnold, Carlton and the NG5 and NG4 postcodes. From £35 per person, minimum 10 guests, no travel charge.
Why this side of the city suits it
Arnold and Carlton are family-house territory — semis and detached places with decent-sized kitchen-diners and gardens, which is exactly what a cocktail class wants. Plenty of room round a table, somewhere to put the ice bucket, and a back door to spill out of when the weather holds.
It’s also a part of Nottingham where a night in town means a taxi both ways and an argument about who’s driving. Keeping the party at the house removes all of that, and the money that would have gone on fares goes into better spirits instead.
We come out to Arnold, Carlton, Gedling, Netherfield, Mapperley, Woodthorpe, Daybrook, Redhill and Bestwood with no travel charge.

Common questions
How much is a cocktail class in Arnold or Carlton?
From £35 per person with a minimum of 10 guests, everything included. There’s no travel charge — Arnold and Carlton are well within our Nottingham coverage.
Will it work in a normal family kitchen?
Yes, and that’s most of what we do. A kitchen island or a dining table with room to stand around it is plenty. Send a photo if you’re unsure and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you set up in the garden?
In decent weather, yes. We need a stable table and access to a plug and sink indoors. We’ll agree an indoor backup on the day in case it turns.
Can under-18s take part?
Not in a class involving alcohol. For mixed-age family parties we run a full alcohol-free mocktail class instead, which works just as well.
