The session
What happens during your class
Setup before your booked time
Your host arrives ahead of the advertised start time and sets up the bar on your kitchen table or the largest available work surface. Setup takes place outside the booked two hours.
Hands-on cocktail teaching
Three cocktails are built one at a time, with everyone making their own. Your host covers shaking, stirring, muddling, building and straining, explaining each technique clearly.
Games and clear-down
Interactive games are spread across the session to keep the pace steady. At the end, your host packs away and removes all Buff Boyz equipment.

Drinks and dietary needs
Cocktail choices, mocktails and allergies
Cocktail selection
Your selection is confirmed before the event so the three drinks suit your group.
Mocktails
Non-drinkers can make the same three drinks without alcohol. Mocktail places are charged at the same package rate because the host, glassware, ingredients, equipment and session time remain the same.
Allergies
Raise allergies and dietary requirements when requesting your quote. Drinks are prepared side by side using shared equipment, so cross-contamination cannot be ruled out entirely.
Who it is for
Who the class suits
Hen parties
A shared afternoon activity for groups staying together in Harrogate. It can also be paired with hen party life drawing in Harrogate across the same weekend.
Birthdays and private celebrations
Popular for milestone birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, reunions and leaving parties where the group wants a shared activity.
Corporate and team socials
A private evening activity delivered to your accommodation, away from a busy hotel bar.
Not suitable: groups below the ten-guest minimum, venues that do not permit events, or any booking where somebody present is under 18.
Before booking
Venue permission and access
If you are booking a holiday let, serviced apartment or party house, check the booking agreement before confirming. Some properties restrict events, parties or additional visitors, and obtaining permission is the customer’s responsibility.
Central Harrogate has permit-controlled parking on many residential streets. If the property has no driveway or off-street space, tell us in advance so your host can arrange the unload.
