Cocktails take over Old Spitalfields Market

London Cocktail Week is getting bigger – and edging into East London. The week – running from 5th to 11th October this year – is moving to a new, bigger hub in the heart of Soho. It’s also taking a week-long residency in Old Spitalfields Market, transforming the whole 1200 square metre market into a huge cocktail village. The Market will see a maze of bespoke pop-up bars, trucks, vans and even bicycles serving up their specially created cocktails from refreshing vodka tipples to fruit liqueurs and bracing pick-me-ups – at just £5 for wristband wearers.

It gets better. Interspersing the aroma of on-trend tipples, the heady scent of sizzling meats and spices will waft from street food stalls offering tempting treats. In the very heart of this covered market, a live music stage will pump out beats to sip and snack to.

Over in the heart of the West End, festival goers will discover a world of incredible mixology, exquisite spirits and unforgettable experiences in the home of the festival – the stylish World Class London Cocktail Week Hub. This one-week luxury pop-up offers a host of bespoke drinking experiences. Not only will you be able to pick up your wristband and free pocket bar guide, but you can also roam from one room of playful discovery to the other – suitable for the curious newcomer to the seasoned cocktail lovers alike. The Hub is at 51 Poland Street, W1F 7RJ.

In addition to those two main venues, London Cocktail Week 2015 offers the usual timetable of unmissable parties, including the glamorous World’s 50 Best Bars awards ceremony on 8th October, master classes, supper clubs and the renowned self-guided Cocktail Tours which will see 250 of the best bars in the capital throwing open their doors to offer specially created cocktails for £5 to wristband wearers.

LCW wristbands cost £10 and are available now at LondonCocktailWeek.com. You collect them from the hub once the week begins, along with a free pocket sized bar guide mapping out all bars participating in the festival.  As well as £5 cocktails in all partner venues and pop-ups, wristband wearers can benefit from a whole host of delicious offers around town – meaning there really is something for everyone during this fantastic week.
