During Cocktail Week, you can exchange your ticket at the Nuffield for a souvenir guide and your wristband. This is your passport to seven days of discounted drinks and exclusive events!
Signature Cocktails Cafés, bars and restaurants have teamed up with premium drinks brands to come up with different signature cocktails that are available at discounted prices to wristband holders only. With amazing discounts all week, you can afford to perhaps try something you might not otherwise have chosen from a cocktail menu. Details of all the signature cocktails will be released during Cocktail Week online and in the souvenir guide book.

plan their week in advance and book with the venues directly. From gin and chocolate pairings to steak and whiskey dinners, and live music nights to cocktail masterclasses, there’s plenty to keep you entertained all week!
