This summer, 33 fantastic venues will be serving up a signature cocktail as part of the 3 day festival. The final venue list features Jewellery Quarter favourites; Grain & Glass and Saint Paul’s House, long term BCW hotel partners, Malmaison and Hotel du Vin, and some great new openings including Ikigai at 1000 Trades, Medicine Mailbox and The Pineapple Club. The full line up can be found here.

Taking place from Friday 6 August – Sunday 8 August, Birmingham Cocktail Weekend features a handful of stellar events for wristband wearers wanting to upgrade their #BCW2021 experience. The events programme is smaller this year due to the pandemic, but there are still some fantastic opportunities to discover new flavours and learn about your favourite cocktails!

Highlights include ‘A Taste of Japan with House of Suntory’; wristband wearers can experience a guided tasting from James Bowker in the luxury surrounds of Harvey Nichols Bar whilst enjoying perfectly paired small plates from the team behind Little Blackwood.

Makers Mark UK Brand Diplomat, Nicole Sykes, will also be in Birmingham for the festival. Head over the The Canal House to meet her and learn all about the story of Maker’s Mark in a free workshop, ‘History of American Cocktails’
