Edinburgh Cocktail Week, the UK’s biggest cocktail festival, returns with another fun-filled programme of cocktails, pop-ups, live music and experiences across 10 days, from 03 to 12 October 2025.
Since its launch in 2017, Edinburgh Cocktail Week has inspired to create a new, experiential festival that encourages people to come together to celebrate and support Edinburgh’s incredible cocktail culture.
Simply purchase an Edinburgh Cocktail Week wristband and enjoy exclusively crafted £5.00 signature cocktails at over 100 participating bars across Edinburgh, including the hottest new hangouts, coolest speakeasys and neighbourhood pubs. Bars taking part in this year’s festival include The Dome, Tigerlily, Harvey Nichols, House of Gods, Copper Blossom, The Alchemist, Manahatta, The Botanist and Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen.
All participating venues will also be offering an alcohol-free alternative to their signature cocktail.

A wristband also grants entry to the famous Cocktail Village at Festival Square – the festival’s fully accessible social hub. Inside you’ll find 24 pop-up bars, a live music stage, street food trucks, experiential spaces, a champagne bar and fun picture moments.
This event is open to those aged 18 years+. Please drink responsibly.
