Work Nights Out in Brighton
Get ready to know your work colleagues on a level you never expected. For a night you’ll never forget, head for a corporate team building session at Alcotraz Brighton. Invite the whole office down to the bar behind bars and get ready for an exceptional immersive theatre experience. The team will get locked up for all the right reasons, and you’ll be treated to delicious, bespoke cocktails along the way.
A work do with a twist
You won’t hear the sound of the Brighton sea lapping against the shore from the depths of your cell, but you will take on a brand new job – becoming part of the biggest and best team of convicts that this seafront city has seen in a long time.
Once you’ve made it through the metal detector, you and your colleagues will be lured into an exciting world of mischief as you receive your instructions from the notorious bootleggers on the inside: smuggle in your liquor of choice which will then be used to make delicious, bespoke cocktails just for you.
Not quite sure how you and your teammates will get your contraband through the doors? Not to worry, guards will be on-site to sign you in, pass you your jumpsuits, and help you do your smuggling. Yes, that’s right; the guards are crooked and they’re here to enjoy your work do just as much as you.
The only person standing in your way is the Warden, the office manager of Alcotraz Penitentiary. They’ll be sniffing around the prison ready to catch any rulebreakers and confiscate any contraband. You and your colleagues will have to work together, be organised and communicate to stay ahead of the game. Will you be the next team to run the block? Let’s find out.
Team building for everyone
The whole point of getting the team out of the office and into an activity is to get everyone to bond and interact – and Alcotraz does just that! Drinkers and teetotalers, wallflowers and budding actors alike, there’s a way for everyone to take part in Alcotraz – we’re not all about the booze.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be drawn into the immersive world that is Alcotraz Brighton. Guards – each of them trained actors – will check you in for your stay and hand you one of our standard issue jumpsuits, and lead you to your highly realistic jail cell. Everyone else you see from then on – the Warden, the mole and even our mixologists – are all actors, dedicated to giving you a team building experience like no other.
Whether you want to stay in your cell and get to know your colleagues a little better, or you want to leap into character and be part of a plot to overthrow the Warden, or take part in a little team bonding activities, you won’t find anywhere else that gives you so much variety.

FAQs
For processing and conviction, we recommend that you wear light clothing as you will be required to wear a standard-issue Alcotraz orange jumpsuit (provided) for the duration of your stay.
Your experience will last 1 hour 45 minutes, and inmates will be provided with their own orange jumpsuit for the duration of their time behind bars.
Our standard-issue Alcotraz jumpsuits cater to all inmates, with sizes ranging from XS to 4XL. Please note that you are free to wear your jumpsuit as you wish to make it more comfortable, such as tying the arms around your waist.
The inmates you come across behind bars are highly skilled mixologists, and they work best with smuggled spirits. But, if you prefer wine or beer, this can also be served to you… If you can get it past the Warden.
Alcotraz operates a closed bottle policy, meaning we will not accept any bottles previously opened. Please only bring new, unopened and sealed bottles.
Inmates get approximately 4 personalised cocktails delivered by our expert mixologists, using the liquor you smuggle in with you. All liqueurs, bitters, syrups and other ingredients that go into making your cocktails are included in the ticket price, so all you need to bring is the liquor of your choice.
If drinking isn't your thing, don't worry. The Alcotraz experience is exactly the same for non-drinkers as a huge part of your time behind bars is the immersive storyline that unfolds around you where you can interact with the storylines and the actors. For those not drinking liquor, there is no need to smuggle anything in and instead, you will receive x 4 expertly crafted mocktails included within the ticket price!
