MUMS will be encouraged to find their flair and channel their inner Brian Flanagan at a special event in celebration of Mother’s Day.

Three Wise Monkeys, in High Street, Colchester, is hosting a trio of cocktail masterclasses on Sunday afternoon.

Upon arrival the guests will receive a glass of Prosecco and a cupcake, before being taught how to create classic cocktails during a beverage-shaking session.

Following the 90-minute lessons in drink making the budding bartenders will be able to enjoy their alcoholic concoctions in the venue’s atmospheric underground Gin Bar.

A spokesman for Three Wise Monkeys said: “Join us on Sunday to create two all-time classic cocktails in our Mother's Day Cocktail Masterclasses.”

Guests are advised there is no lift to access the Gin Bar but there is one hand-railed flight of stairs which lead to the area.

The Mother’s Day Cocktail Masterclass events run at 1pm until 3pm, 3.30pm until 5.30pm, and 6pm until 8pm.

Tickets cost £30 plus a booking fee and can be purchased by visiting threewisemonkeyscolchester.com.

Availability for the events, which are strictly for overs 18s, is limited, so guests are urged to ensure their slot by pre-booking as soon as possible.
