A message from Harry, Founder of Brighton Cocktail Festival 👇
“And so that’s a wrap for this year’s Brighton Cocktail Festival! It’s been absolutely incredible seeing the festival grow to become the country’s biggest cocktail event in 2026 (in just our second year!) and hearing everyone’s amazing feedback.
This year over 50 of Brighton & Hove’s best bars took part. I want to say a huge thank you to all of these bars and their teams - not just for creating so many incredible cocktails - but for working so hard in the lead up to and during this year’s festival to give an outstanding experience to everyone who attended.
I also wanted to say a massive thank you to our ten exceptional sponsors below, who have done so much to support and champion these bars and the Brighton bar scene as a whole. We look forward to seeing the city’s relationship continue to grow with them all.

Finally, I wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who came! We were absolutely blown away seeing everyone out exploring, discovering and supporting Brighton’s amazing cocktail scene over the last ten days. Please, please continue to go out and support our local bars all year round. Hospitality needs our support more than ever right now, and this will make sure all of these amazing venues - that make Brighton & Hove so special - can continue to stay open and do the very best of what they do.
And that’s not it for Brighton Cocktail Festival… We’ll be announcing next year’s dates very soon, so keep your eyes peeled - and we look forward to welcoming you back in 2027. Cheers to this, and see you next year!”
