Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire ARTBARS?
Private events and corporate bookings start from £5,000, and we build the right package around your event. For festivals, we agree terms directly with organisers, so please get in touch and we will find the right fit.
What is included?
A fully stocked, fully staffed bar, expert mixologists, our own cocktail and mocktail menus, all glassware and equipment, and everything from delivery and rigging to breakdown. We are fully insured to £10m and fully licensed, with a Personal Licence Holder, Site Manager and Stage Manager on site at all times.
What do you need on site?
Each bar arrives on a flatbed truck with a separate prep vehicle that parks behind the bar. We need a level pitch, a power connection, a fresh water supply and grey water disposal. The Cockatoo and Peacocktails each need a 16 amp hook-up. The Toucan needs a 32 amp hook-up and around 10m of frontage by 7m of depth. We take care of rigging, which takes our team roughly a day on site to set up and a day to take down.
Do the bars really have live performance?
Yes. Our bars are built around performance, from fire and opera to ballet, drag and contortion. We draw on years of relationships with world-class performers, and every act is risk assessed and stage managed by our on-site team.
Are your drinks really 100% plant based?
Yes. Every drink, cup, straw and piece of glassware is plant based and biodegradable. No animal products, no plastics.
Where do you cover?
We work across the UK, at festivals, corporate events and private celebrations. Tell us where you are and we will let you know.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer dates and the Christmas party season, as our bars book up well ahead.
