Perfect for larger groups of six or more, our largest private class to date is 220 people, with all guests continuously and simultaneously learning the art of cocktail making and everyone being fully included throughout the class. Although our Fitzrovia base won’t quite be able to cater for a group of this size, we have plenty of larger venues nearby which would be suitable. Enquire now for details.
SMALLER GROUPS
Our public cocktail making classes run every Friday from 7–9pm and Saturday from 1–3pm at our Covent Garden venue. At our second venue, TT in Shoreditch, classes take place every Friday from 7–9pm and on Saturdays at either 4–6pm or 7–9pm.
These sessions are perfect for individuals, smaller groups, or anyone who wants to get a feel for how our classes work before booking a private event. You’ll join a wider group of like-minded guests, with up to 4 people per bar and an average class size of around 20.
VIRTUAL CLASSES
Inspired by the lockdown era, our virtual classes provide an environment in which to be sociable despite the distances between us.
Now you and a group of friends or work colleagues can learn to make cocktails from the comfort of your own home, all without compromising on our trademark interactivity.

A fabulous, boozy afternoon. Led by an entertaining and knowledgeable Scot, we tried our hand at various classic cocktails with a twist. Great present to get the other half.

Brilliant fun! We had a big group of 20 people, males and females and a mixture of ages but everyone had a fantastic time and it is all everyone in our office is talking about this morning! We loved learning about the origins and history behind the cocktails before making them, and had a lot of fun coming up with our own cocktail at the end using the skills we had learned

Had a great evening here a few weeks ago. Our mixologist was an absolute pro – he was very knowledgeable, skilled and fun. I really enjoyed all of the cocktails that we made, including gin and tequila-based cocktails that I usually can’t stand!! Great location too, it was easy for us all to carry on drinking afterwards. Would definitely recommend it!

We booked an afternoon team building session and it’s fair to say that the team all had a fantastic time and I would certainly recommend Mixology Events for business and personal use and look forward to using them again in the future!

FAQ's
While food isn’t necessarily part of the package, it is certainly recommended. As you can imagine during two hours of making and drinking cocktails, it’s quite a good idea to line your stomachs. Even if the addition of food is a relatively last-minute decision, we will be able to cater to your needs if you get in touch with your event organiser a few hours beforehand.
Not as standard, no. However, we are able to add food to most events at most venues. At our central London location, we are able to offer a wide range of cold small plates and deli boards. If you’d also like recommendations about where to eat before or after your class, let your event organiser know and we can book a table for you as part of the service.
The disabled access at the Gallery is quite extensive, and most areas of the venue are accessible via wheelchair.
Generally, after a conversation with your event organiser about your event, you will need to put down a 30% deposit to confirm your booking and provide a home or company address to detail. This will all be sent over via email, along with the terms and conditions outlined. The final balance will be due a week before your class or event, generally once numbers are confirmed.
Once we have sent you the deposit invoice your event has been confirmed, therefore if you wish to cancel your event you must do this by email so we have written proof and you must do this at least 14 days prior to your event date to be eligible for a refund of your deposit. If you have booked your event with less than 7 days lead time, a cancellation must be received within 24 hours of your invoice being sent to avoid liability of payment.
The balance of your event must be paid 7 days before your event, if payment has not been made someone from our accounts team will contact you to make payment over the phone
Yes of course. We have catered for deaf classes before, generally the clients will have organised an interpreter. Again, let your event organiser know beforehand and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

CLIENT & COMPANY EVENTS
We can draw upon well over a decade’s worth of experience working with the Gallery to deliver an efficient, professional service, from the moment of your first enquiry, through our seamless booking process, all the way through to the execution of the event.
We have a proven track record working with both small creative startups and esteemed brands, such as Harrods, Google, and Nike, and your dedicated event organiser will be on hand before, during, and after your event. Booking as a team?
HEN PARTIES
With only a small deposit to confirm the booking, and choice of a cocktail or prosecco reception, our private classes have all the necessary ingredients for an ideal hen party!
Our venues in Covent Garden and Shoreditch are well-suited for this, or we can come to you, wherever you may be across the UK. For groups of any size, your class is fully flexible. Learn to make (and drink!) over 5 cocktails within a unique, purpose-built class set-up, whilst maintaining 100% interaction. We strongly believe we are the best class in the country, both in terms of value as well as quality.
MOBILE CLASSES
Although London is our centre point, – with a great collection of venues dotted around in Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Camden & King’s Cross – we’re fully equipped and have a proven track record in taking our classes to almost any venue throughout the U.K.
We’ve hosted our cocktail making classes in a wide range of locations – from back gardens to hotel suites, from halfway up The Shard to the grand hall of a Scottish Manor House. Got somewhere in mind already? Want us to recommend a venue? Get in touch!
EVENT ORGANISER
For our classes, we have a dedicated and personal team of event organisers based at our offices in Shoreditch. The same event organiser will stay with you from planning and booking your event, on the day and post-event.
Your more than welcome to come down visit our unique, purpose-built class set-up to have a look around, meet your dedicated event organiser, and stick around for a well-deserved cocktail afterwards, or we can organise a site visit to your preferred venue.
YOUR HOST
All our bartenders have years of experience in the industry, and with Mixology Events. They each go through rigorous training to learn how to deliver the best cocktail making classes on the market.
Not only this, each and every one of them are enthusiastic, friendly, and – generally – pretty lovely human beings to have around. Don’t just take our word for it, why not meet them for yourselves?
PHONE, EMAIL OR ORGANISE A SITE VISIT!
We understand the importance of verbal communication, and we know that some questions simply can’t wait for an email response.
That’s why if you’re considering booking an event, we encourage you to give us a call, organise a site visit, or come visit our team. That way we can discuss your ideas, since every event is unique.
Our base in Fitzrovia is a great central location for us to host your cocktail making class.
The West End is just a stone’s throw away, as is energetic Oxford Street, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, meaning there is no shortage of things to do and places to explore before and after your exclusive cocktail experience.
Guests commuting to and from London only have a short trip to Euston, King’s Cross St Pancras and Paddington.
The Gallery is our permanent base for cocktail making classes in Fitzrovia. This unique space has built an international reputation over the past three decades for individuality, innovation, and boundless energy – the striking works of art lining its walls evidence their passion for Non-Western artistic traditions.
The Gallery is a unique art installation space, full of natural light and set in a converted town house.This distinctive space works really well for private group bookings of all sizes. The gallery is radiant, displaying remarkable artwork throughout the space, as well as huge windows that overlook central London.
The gallery’s overall versatility, distinctive aesthetic qualities, and close proximity to the dynamic hub of the West End makes it an ideal location for our cocktail making classes – leaving you with no shortage of options before, after, and even during your experience.
Address – 2A Conway Street, Fitzroy Square, London, W1T 6BA
Meraki Bar – Hidden beneath the Greek Fitzrovia restaurant, you can access the bar from Foley Street, around the corner from the restaurant’s entrance. The interior is filled with plush sofas and velvet cushions on which to lounge while sipping cocktails, and bar food is easily hustled down for you from the upstairs restaurant. There are also private booths where you can enjoy your Mediterranean inspired cocktails in lavish surroundings; perfect for a romantic date or quiet meal before or after your class.
The Remedy Wine Bar – Located a short walk away from our Fitzrovia base, this cosy wine bar plays host to a rotating blackboard of different wines. The owner opens whatever he fancies – or thinks you might fancy – and chalks it up there for everyone to enjoy. They work with small quality-centred producers, and are quick to come up with a decent recommendation if you’re feeling a bit lost. There are some small Italian inspired plates to enjoy alongside your wine, and you can sit outside if the weather permits. It is a great spot for a date or small group of friends.
Genuine Liquorette – Modeled after New York’s eponymous basement bar, these guys are challenging the conventional relationship between customer and bartender. There’s a self-service counter, where cocktails come on tap, or if you prefer you can order from a form, and the friendly staff bring it over. Cocktails are fun and playful, served in cans with unconventional garnishes. Both the tap room upstairs and the cocktail bar downstairs are relaxed settings with interesting décor – checkered floors and shelves packed with unusual spirit bottles and cans, in a New York liquor store – meets Victorian pub fashion. All this makes this the perfect hangout for larger groups to continue their evening after their cocktail class.
PRIVATE CLASSES – Any Size, Any Time, Any Location, Any Day
We have been specialising in delivering top-quality cocktail classes for over a decade, and in that time we have continuously improved and fine-tuned our experience so we can proudly call ourselves the best on the market.
Many bars offer their own versions of cocktail masterclasses, but they are often not fit for purpose. It is cramped, not fully set up to allow all your guests to continually practice their cocktail making skills for the whole duration of the class, and you are often learning in front of a public audience in busier bars. Not Ideal.
WHERE?
We host the majority of our masterclasses at TT Liquor, where we have 4 dedicated masterclass lounges that are fully set up when you arrive – freeing you up to make cocktails continuously for 2 hours without waiting for anyone to set anything up for you.
We do that all before you arrive. The rooms come in a variety of sizes and cater for groups of 6 up to 80.
If you have a location in mind we also specialists in bring the complete set up with us. All the bars, with all the equipment, all the liquor, fresh products and ice. You simply let us know where you would like it to be and we set it all up in less than an hour and a half. We then offer the same experience you find at TT Liquor at any location you can think of.
EQUIPMENT & TUITION
Each bar also comes fully stocked, so that everyone on that bar (max 5 guests per bar) can make cocktails throughout their masterclass, with no interruption and no standing around watching. There are 3, 6, 8 and 16 bars set up in the 4 respective cocktail making lounges across our four-floor venue at TT Liquor and we have a total of 42 of these bars so we can perform a masterclass for up to 210 guests, all still receiving the same experience and all still making cocktails together!
We also provide you with your own professional bartender, who will be your dedicated host for the session. After putting together a reception cocktail for you and your guests, they will then guide you through 4 different cocktails, letting all your guests in on the various tricks of the trade to make your drinks taste better than ever. The perfect skills for your guests to take away with them to show off to their friends at their next garden party or barbecue.
Our expert bartenders are at the very top of their profession and are rigorously trained to deliver the best cocktail making experience possible for groups of up to 80. Their job is to be entertaining and engaging with all your guests, while simultaneously offering unparalleled insights on how to make your cocktails taste amazing. You may not get it right the first time around, but they will work attentively with each member of your group to hone their skills.
COMPETITION
To end the session with a bang, each bar will be set loose to create their own cocktail, testing out their new skills and competing head-to-head with the other bar teams. Your expert host will then have a taste of each creation and crown the winner. There is nothing quite like a bit of healthy competition and 5 cocktails each to bring a group together!
WHO?
Our cocktail making classes have been enjoyed by budding mixologists from 18 years of age to 88, for a wide variety of occasions. Everything we do is geared towards making it an event to remember for you and your group.
WHEN?
We are lucky enough to be able to perform these classes 7 days a week and at any time of the day you wish. Due to this flexibility, we teach over 20,000 guests all the skills they’ll need to get mixing every year.

General FAQ's
We host the majority of our public masterclasses at TT in Shoreditch (Great Eastern St) and Maiden Lane in Covent Garden, where we have dedicated masterclass lounges that are fully set up when you arrive – freeing you up to make cocktails continuously for 2 hours without waiting for anyone to set anything up for you.
