Chelmsford Cocktail Weekend 2025

This September 26 - 28, Chelmsford For You is shaking things up with a brand-new event set to stir excitement across the city centre – The Chelmsford Cocktail Weekend. This immersive trail will guide cocktail lovers through the city centre’s best bars, restaurants, and nightlife venues to celebrate local cocktail culture like never before.

From £5 signature cocktails to exclusive experiences and offers, this event is more than a night out – it’s a vibrant celebration of Chelmsford’s hospitality scene. And for the first time ever, locals and visitors will get to sip, sample, and socialise their way through a curated cocktail journey, all in support of Chelmsford Pubwatch, promoting safer nights out in the city.

This event has been sponsored by Essex Spirits Company, Chelmsford's first commercial distillery, where each bottle tells a story of craftsmanship, passion, and dedication to quality, all done while trying to make a positive impact on both the environment & our local society.
