Hen Party Cocktail Making Classes in Nottingham
The bit of the hen weekend everyone talks about afterwards. We bring a full cocktail bar and a professional mixologist to your Airbnb, hotel suite or house anywhere in Nottingham. From £35 per person, minimum 10 guests.
Why a cocktail class beats a night out
Organising a hen do in Nottingham usually means chasing a group of twelve around the city centre, splitting the bill four ways, and losing two people somewhere around Hockley. A mobile cocktail class fixes most of that.
Everyone’s in one place. Nobody’s queuing at a bar. There’s an actual activity to break the ice between the bride’s uni friends and her future mother-in-law. And when it’s finished you’re already at the accommodation, so the night carries on rather than ending in a taxi rank.
It also works out cheaper than most people expect. At £35 a head everything is included — compare that to what a group of twelve spends on cocktails in a Nottingham bar across an evening.
What happens on the day
- We arrive early and set up. Your mixologist turns up ahead of the start time and builds a working bar on a kitchen island, dining table or worktop.
- Welcome drink. Everyone gets something in their hand while you get settled.
- The class starts. Shaking, stirring, muddling and layering — proper technique, taught in a way that doesn’t feel like a lecture.
- Everyone makes their own. One shaker between two, so nobody’s waiting around. The bride usually ends up behind the bar at some point.
- Cocktail competition. Optional, but it’s always the bit people photograph.
- We pack down and go. Everything we brought leaves with us. Your night carries on.

Hen party extras
Tell us what you’re after and we’ll build it in:
- A cocktail named after the bride — printed menus with her name on them
- Themed drinks to match your colour scheme or the destination she wishes she’d picked
- Cocktail games and prizes for the competition round
- Prosecco on arrival instead of the standard welcome drink
- Photos — we’re happy to take them so the organiser isn’t stuck behind a phone all night
Where we’ll come to
Hen parties in Nottingham tend to book Airbnbs in West Bridgford, apartments in the Lace Market, or hotel suites in the city centre. All of them work. We also run classes in houses across Beeston, Arnold, Carlton, Mapperley, Sherwood, Wollaton and the rest of the city — with no travel charge anywhere in Nottingham.
All we need is a bit of worktop or table space, a plug and access to a sink. If you’re unsure whether your accommodation will work, send us a photo of the kitchen and we’ll tell you straight away.
Hen party cocktail class FAQs
How much is a hen party cocktail class in Nottingham?
From £35 per person with a minimum of 10 guests. Everything is included, so a group of 12 would be from £420 in total with nothing else to pay on the day.
Can you come to our Airbnb?
Yes — Airbnbs are where we run most of our hen party classes. Just check with the host that you’re allowed an activity like this, which is very rarely a problem.
What if someone in the group is pregnant or not drinking?
They still take part fully. We make alcohol-free versions of everything, and they’re proper drinks rather than an afterthought. Let us know numbers in advance.
How far in advance should we book?
Saturdays book up fastest, especially between May and September. If you have a date in mind, message us and we’ll tell you straight away whether it’s free.
Can we do it before going out?
Most groups do. An afternoon or early evening class works well as the anchor for the day, with the rest of the night out afterwards.
