Session Format
What happens during the two-hour class?
Your host arrives around 15 minutes before the start time to set up the bar station, glassware and ingredients. Across the two hours, your host guides each participating guest through making three cocktails, chosen by the group from the available menu, and demonstrates core techniques like shaking, stirring and measuring.
Party games keep the energy up throughout, and everyone gets hands-on. At the end, the host packs down and takes everything away, including leftover ingredients.
Arrival and setup
Your host arrives around 15 minutes early to set up the bar station, ingredients, glassware and equipment.
Cocktails and games
Guests make three cocktails each with guidance, demonstrations and party games woven through the session.
Pack-down
Your host packs down and takes everything away, including leftover ingredients from the session.
A typical two-hour session runs roughly like this: host arrival and setup, a welcome and introduction to the kit, the first cocktail, party games, the second and third cocktails, then pack-down. The exact pace flexes with your group size and how hands-on everyone wants to be.
Cocktail Menu
Choose three cocktails together
The group chooses three recipes together from the current ten-drink menu. Menu options remain subject to ingredient availability and are confirmed before the event.
Non-drinkers are welcome — mocktails are available, with any separate mocktail price confirmed in your quote.

Who It Suits
Who is the cocktail class suitable for?
Hen parties
A hosted, high-energy activity that mixes cocktail making with party games, making it a natural centrepiece for a hen celebration.
It pairs well with hen party life drawing in Penrith if you want to build a fuller day or evening.
Birthdays, private parties and team events
The same format works for milestone birthdays, group celebrations, house parties and corporate socials. Structured enough to keep everyone involved, relaxed enough to feel like a party.
Non-drinkers
Mocktail participation is fully supported, so mixed groups can all take part.
Host Options
Choose a buff butler or clothed mixologist
You can book the class with either host style:
Clothed mixologist
A fully clothed professional host, ideal for mixed groups or corporate bookings.
Buff butler
Hosted by a cheeky buff butler for a hen-party atmosphere.
Our buff butlers wear an apron, collar, cuffs and bow tie. There is no stripping, full nudity, lap dancing or sexual contact in the cocktail class — it's a fun, hosted cocktail experience, not adult entertainment.
Mobile Coverage
Venues and areas covered
We deliver to private homes, holiday cottages, lodges, Airbnbs, hotels and function rooms. If you're booking at a holiday let or hotel, please check that the owner or venue permits the activity first.
We cover Penrith and the immediate area, the Eden Valley and Ullswater, and wider Cumbria — exact availability and any travel cost are confirmed by postcode in your quote before you book.
Why private accommodation works well
Penrith and the surrounding Eden Valley contain many self-catering cottages, lodges and larger group properties suited to mobile activities — accommodation where everyone stays under one roof, with a kitchen or dining space to gather around.
Because the host comes to that accommodation, there's no need to book taxis into town or split the group across venues on the night.
Why Penrith is practical for groups
Ullswater lodges, farmhouse lets near the Eden Valley and bases on the edge of the Lakes suit the format for the same reason: space for a group, and somewhere to set up the bar.
Penrith also sits on the West Coast Main Line and just off the M6, so guests arriving from further afield can reach one Cumbria base without a complicated journey.

Mobile cocktail class or venue-based masterclass?
A mobile class comes to you, so there is no separate activity venue to book, no travelling between locations, and the whole group stays together. A bar-based class means going out to a fixed venue at a set time.
If you're staying at a cottage or Airbnb with a group, the mobile option usually works out simpler and more private.
Mobile cocktail class
Best when your group is already staying together and wants the host, equipment, ingredients and games delivered to your accommodation.
Venue-based masterclass
Best when you already plan to go out, your group is smaller, or your accommodation does not permit organised entertainment.
For Penrith cottages, lodges and Airbnbs, the mobile option usually means fewer taxis, less organising and a more private group experience.
