What You Get
What’s Included
A complete mobile bar experience with no hidden fees and nothing to buy or hire yourself:
A professional host of your choice — a buff butler in Burnley or a fully clothed mixologist, both trained to lead your class.
2 hours of interactive entertainment — guided cocktail making, party games and a competitive finale.
3 cocktails per guest — hands-on instruction to shake, muddle and strain your own drinks.
Everything supplied — premium spirits, liqueurs, mixers, fresh fruit, garnishes, professional equipment and real glassware, or quality disposables if you prefer.
Mocktail, vegan and allergy-friendly options so nobody is left out.
Setup and clean-up handled — your host arrives early and clears everything afterwards.
You’ll also pick up the core bartending skills along the way: shaking versus stirring, muddling, flavour balancing and garnishing.
Choose Your Host
Choose Your Host: Buff Butler or Clothed Mixologist
Every class is led by a trained mixologist — the only difference is the style of host fronting the party:
Buff butler, from £45pp — the cheeky, high-energy option, hosting bare-chested in the classic buff-butler look with bow tie, collar and cuffs. A favourite for hen parties and milestone birthdays.
Clothed mixologist, from £38pp — the same expert teaching in smart bartender dress. A more understated option that suits corporate events and mixed-age groups.
The cocktails, teaching, games and clean-up are identical either way.

Mobile vs Bar Class
Mobile Cocktail Class vs Bar Cocktail Class
A mobile class comes to you; a bar class means travelling to a fixed venue and sharing the space.
For most group celebrations in Burnley, coming to your own venue is simpler, more private and easier to budget for.
| Detail | Mobile Class at Your Venue | Bar Class at a Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Your home, Airbnb, cottage or hired space | Fixed bar you travel to |
| Getting there | No taxis, queuing or dress code | Travel, parking and taxis to arrange |
| Group | Everyone stays together all evening | Risk of splitting up |
| Cost | Fixed price per person, agreed upfront | Often per-drink, so the total can climb |
| Privacy and pace | Private session, your playlist, your pace | Shared space, set by the venue |
| After the class | Carry on exactly where you are | Move on, or venue rules apply |

Local Party Fit
Why Burnley Works Well for This Experience
Most groups can host comfortably in the space they’ve already booked — town-centre apartments, terraced homes, and the holiday cottages, party houses and Airbnbs across the wider area.
Guests often travel in from nearby Padiham, Briercliffe, Worsthorne, Hapton, Nelson and Colne, with the surrounding Pendle and Ribble Valley countryside popular for larger party-house weekends.
From previous Lancashire bookings, setup works best wherever there’s a table the group can gather around or a bit of clear space — a kitchen island, dining table or garden table all do the job.
If you’re in a cottage or Airbnb, it’s worth checking parking and sink access with the host beforehand, as your mixologist arrives with the bar kit, glassware and ingredients.
