Leeds Cocktail Week returns to city in six weeks – tickets on sale now and hotel partner announcement

Get ready to shake, stir and sip your way through Leeds’s second year of Cocktail Week this summer and it’s here in just six weeks, bringing fantastic drinks from £5 – £7 at many of the city’s favourite venues.

From 31 July – 9 August 2026, Leed’s 10-day celebration event will bring together a curated collection of local restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs, each offering hand-crafted cocktails priced from £5 exclusively for wristband holders.

Designed as an opportunity to explore and reconnect with the city’s vibrant hospitality scene, Leeds Cocktail Week is a chance to enjoy favourite venues – and perhaps uncover a few new ones, too.

Participating venues will include well-known names such as The Alchemist, Banyan, Jake’s Bar & Still Room, Chaophraya, Manahatta, Electric Shuffle, Power Corruption & Lies, Blackhouse and Flight Club to name a few with plenty more names to be revealed as the countdown begins.

Each venue will be shaking up its own signature cocktail, giving you the perfect excuse to pop in and see what they’re all about. A signature mocktail option will also be available at every participating location.

This year’s official hotel partner is Queens Hotel Leeds who are offering a fantastic stay package. This iconic 4-star hotel has been a part of the city since 1937 – originally built as flagship hotel for Leeds railway station.

The proudly independent business offers visitors to Cocktail Week, Cinnamon Kitchen, who are their participating bar/restaurant. Expect modern Indian cuisine meets seasonal local produce.

Marketing manager at Queens Hotel Leeds, Jemima Baldwin, says, “We’re proud to be part of Leeds Cocktail Week and to showcase Cinnamon Kitchen at The Queens. It’s a great fit for our hotel, bringing together Leeds’ vibrant food and drink scene with our own sense of style and hospitality. We’re excited to welcome guests in and be part of such a city-wide celebration.”

The event is brought to the city by M.ad Agency, organisers of Cocktail Week events across the UK. Director Alice Christison added: “We’re thrilled to bring Cocktail Week to Leeds for the second year. The city’s hospitality scene is something truly special and we’re looking forward to working closely with local venues to create something that feels welcoming fun and sociable. Last year proved to be a wonderful opportunity for people to explore the city in a different way – I’d encourage everyone to grab those early bird tickets while they last.”

Wristbands grant access to all £5 – £7 cocktails during the event, along with additional offers, including other cocktails and food, at selected venues.
