About this Event

A Christmas cocktail strut 2025 - sponsored by the Aviary Bar and in conjunction with RugbyFirst.

Missed the last one? check it out here.

Let me take you on a guided walking tour of the greatest cocktail venues in the historic town of Rugby.

I'm ‘Fizz’, and I am the manager and head mixologist of the Aviary Bar in Rugby. Situated at 25 High Street, we opened last November and quickly became one of Rugby's cocktail destinations, but there are many others to discover!

Sponsored by The Aviary Bar, and in conjunction with RugbyFirst, I would like to take you to some of the most interesting cocktail venues in town. I want to showcase the quality and variety on offer in our town, teach you some of the rich history of mixology and of course, give you the chance to sample some famous cocktails.

You’ve all seen those ‘walking tours’ of towns & cities where some ‘know-it-all’ with an umbrella takes a group of people around either haunted buildings, or notable sites?

This is no average walking tour, nor a pub crawl, but a cocktail strut and with me as that ‘know-it-all’ in charge. As an author, I have written many articles on the history of individual cocktails explaining how they got their names and where they originate from, so get ready for a fun, informative strut around town.

This seasonal version of the sell-out strut we did a few months ago will focus on winter classics and Christmas cocktails, and will feature five venues.

Tickets are extremely limited and expected to sell out quickly.

Included in your ticket price is:

I.D. check with your guide - so no need to prove your age time and time again.
A map with details of each venue and other venues in town you can enjoy cocktails.

A guided walking tour, stoping at five venues for a cocktail & a nibble at each. At each venue your guide will tell you the history of each drink, some information about the venue, and the buildings history.
Included in the ticket price are five alcoholic cocktails & five nibbles on the side.
