If you’re wondering what Alcotraz is all about or how you arrange the perfect stag or hen do in Brighton, keep reading today.
Stag and hen party packages
Like when you’re planning any other activity in Brighton for your hen or stag group, booking in advance is required at Alcotraz. We have a number of different stag and hen party packages in Brighton which are all specifically tailored for groups who are wanting to celebrate wed-lock by being locked-up.
There are two main ways of booking Alcotraz for your stag or hen group;
Groups under 30
For smaller stag and hen parties, you can simply book via our website by clicking on the ‘book now’ button. The booking process is incredibly simple and you won’t struggle to book the perfect cell for all of your convicts. There are a few different prison cells to choose from, but our biggest cells are designed for up to six guests. However, if there are more than six of you, we will do our best to seat your group in adjacent or opposite cells.
Of course, if you’d prefer to, you can simply contact our team and tell them all about your hen or stag do in Brighton. We will help you plan the perfect trip to Alcotraz.
Groups over 30
For bigger hen and stag parties, we recommend that you privately hire the whole venue for your visit. This really is the ultimate lock-in and it gives you access to all of the different cells in the secret basement prison. Private hire in Brighton is suitable for up to 40 inmates and the prison is available for hire requests every day.
When exclusively hiring the venue, our team can pre-arrange a secret stash of liquor hidden in your cells and our canteen can deliver food to your cells too. Get in touch with us today to discuss your private hire needs for a truly unforgettable event.
BYOB
It is important to note that Alcotraz works slightly differently to any other ‘cocktail bar’ you might’ve been to in the past and we operate on a BYOB (bring your own booze) basis. So, you will be instructed by notorious bootleggers to smuggle in liquor to be used to make delicious, bespoke cocktails.
The cocktails that are created for your stag or hen group will differ depending on the liquor that you bring with you, and your tastes, so try to bring a few variations within your group. Generally speaking, 70cl bottles of spirits are the easiest to smuggle in and get past the warden, and whether you choose to bring vodka, gin, rum, tequila or whisky, you will get to enjoy a number of delicious cocktails in your cells.

Instead of booking a stereotypical hen or stag do activity, mix things up a little bit and give the bride or groom an incredible and unforgettable experience.
