WITH such an impressive range of bars in Leeds, it's no wonder that the city has become a magnet for cocktail festivals, competitions and contests.

Now a new cocktail festival is hoping to get in the mix – and City Buzz can reveal the exciting line-up of bars for the event.

The event on Friday, October 14, will include three themed rooms where top mixologists will create some weird and wacky concoctions for guests to try.

Ticketholders can also make the most of the masterclasses, entertainment and food on offer.

Jordan Odu, director of Pink Gorilla, which is organising the Leeds Cocktail Experience, said: “It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase the best that Leeds has to offer by throwing one amazing party!”

Tickets for the event cost £15 each, which includes two cocktails.
