No and Low-Alcohol Events at Mosborough Hall Hotel

There has been a gradual shift in attitudes towards drinking in recent years, or more accurately, towards not drinking. Social media is flooded with no and low-alcohol influencers, and trends like being ‘sober curious’, ‘mindful moderation’, ‘zebra striping’, and ‘bookending’ are gaining popularity. Campaigns such as Go Sober for October and Dry January have extended periods of sobriety, with many people choosing to be completely alcohol-free all the time. But all of that doesn’t mean a celebration at Sheffield party and events venue, Mosborough Hall Hotel, will be any less fun.

There has been a definite rise in non-alcoholic and low-alcohol events at Mosborough Hall Hotel, and we are embracing the change with a reimagining of how we serve guests who don’t drink alcohol. With a greater selection of premium, low and no-alcohol drinks, always delivered with first-class service, and an exciting menu of freshly made mocktails, there is plenty of choice for your next event.

To help, our team has compiled some of our best ideas for no and low-alcohol events at Mosborough Hall Hotel, along with our favourite drinks from the hotel’s mocktail menu. And you don’t have to be staying at the Hotel or attending an event to sample these magical mocktails, as they are available for hotel guests and local residents to enjoy at the bar.

MODERATE DRINKING – THE FACTS

More than just a social trend, the facts speak for themselves regarding how the UK is drinking differently.

One report from Aviva highlights how 48% of UK drinkers now say they actively want to moderate their alcohol intake. That could be drinking less frequently, choosing low-alcohol alternatives, or swapping in alcohol-free options amongst the boozy ones on a night out. That rises to 68% for 25–34-year-olds.

A quarter of UK adults are said to adopt the zebra striping trend now, alternating one alcoholic drink with one alcohol free.

According to Drinkaware, 49% of young adults are choosing no or low-alcohol products to cut down on their drinking. With around 15.5 million people taking part in Dry January this year and the number expected to rise again in 2026, it’s clear that moderate drinking is becoming mainstream.

RISE OF THE SOBER INFLUENCER

So, what we're saying is a sober lifestyle is bang on trend, and we can cater for this brilliantly. Celebrities and influencers who share on social media their experiences of moderating their drinking (or quitting altogether) are increasing the movement's visibility. Many reveal the stories that led to their sobriety, each being personal and unique. Anne Hathaway, Blake Lively, Lewis Hamilton and Zac Efron, along with Calvin Harris and Natalie Portman, are among those. Some, like Tom Holland, have even launched their own ranges of alcohol-free drinks.

Influencers such as Millie Gooch, a former drinker who founded the Sober Girls Club to support others like her in adopting a new lifestyle, are shifting societal attitudes towards sobriety https://www.instagram.com/sobergirlsociety/. And BBC Radio 2 presenter and former pop singer Janey Lee Grace travels the country to share her experiences of sobriety with the Sober Club.

DRINKING IN MODERATION

A Coke or lemonade will no longer suffice when it comes time to celebrate. Guest expectations are on the rise, and they are seeking creative, delicious non-alcoholic options. So, at Christmas, Dry January, and all year round, we offer a non-alcoholic drinks menu that excites the taste buds of our moderate-drinking guests.

We’ve expanded our list of 0% ciders, beers, gins, and wines so guests have a choice beyond the one on the menu.

NO AND LOW ALCOHOL EVENT IDEAS

Ideal for workplaces prioritising wellness or mixed groups with varying drinking preferences, if you want to stage an event that feels luxurious, but without the hangover, here are five ideas just for you. And remember, with no and low-alcohol events at Mosborough Hall Hotel, you can easily blend alcoholic options with the lower-alcohol versions to ensure that all your guests are catered for.

Apres-Ski - why not try an Après-Ski theme where you wake up feeling refreshed? Transform part of the hotel into a ski lodge-inspired setting. Think warm, zero-alcohol drinks such as a non-alcoholic Vin Chaud (hot mulled wine), cosy décor, small plates, live music and an Espresso Non-Tini. Add a hot chocolate station with toppings and, for those wishing it, a shot of brandy works well. With our self-contained events space, you can make this as immersive as you like, so fire up your imagination.

Summer Fete – yes, recreate the joy of a summer fete or garden party. Entertainment is crucial, featuring everything from a jazz trio or a one-man band to a solo jazz singer. Add bunting, pea lights and tables dressed in gingham cloths with simple garden flowers in jam jars. Drinks can include jugs of chilled low/non-alcoholic Pimm’s, traditional lemonade, or a selection of G&Ts (such as our Outside Fizz non-alcoholic blend) and beers, all perfectly chilled. A dessert table with cream teas, sausage rolls, and individual shot glasses of traditional trifle completes the setting.

Zero-Alcohol Cocktail Masterclass – perfect for a corporate team building event at Mosborough Hall Hotel. Let your guests learn to create some of our stunning mocktails through an interactive experience using premium ingredients, botanicals and elegant garnishes. Brand cocktail shakers and glasses with your company logo, and they will serve double duty as a take-home gift.

Retro-Arcade - nostalgia meets fun in this vibrant, retro gaming theme. Use pixel-themed balloons, arcade signage, neon colours and LED strips to dress the space. Add gaming stations, retro consoles and an event tournament leaderboard. Popcorn, burgers, hot dogs and game-themed cupcakes provide the food. Drinks can include alcoholic and non-alcoholic slushies, where the flavour combos are endless.

Hollywood Glamour – think red velvet ropes and a red-carpet entrance, glitzy and glittering backdrops, paparazzi-style photo ops and an elegant décor in gold and black. Black chairs and tables adorned with shimmering gold linens and table centres made with oversized feathers or an ornate golden candelabra. A giant chandelier hung high over a mirrored dance floor, providing a dramatic and twinkling focal point. Start with a champagne reception or a Mojito-No-No cocktail and follow with a formal dinner. Serve non-alcoholic wines and Champagnes throughout so that everyone is catered for.
