Bristol date night activities
Skip the awkward small talk of a first date, and get right into the nitty gritty with a Bristol date night behind bars. You and your partner in crime will be led through the metal detectors and handed your orange jumpsuits, you’ll be given your mission of smuggling the booze of your choice past the Warden and into your jail cells. Once inside, your liquor will be used to craft delicious and bespoke cocktails just for you to enjoy.
Become part of the story
Whether it’s a first date or a notable anniversary, Alcotraz Bristol is the perfect venue for a pair of fun-loving criminals ready to put their skills to the test. And what greater way is there to get to know your date better, than being cell mates and conspirators against the prison system?
Get ready for your date night to be fully immersed into the storyline of a century, with the help of our fully trained cast. Everyone “working” in the penitentiary – the guards and the Warden – are all trained actors who will put on an incredible show for you both. And who knows? You two may get involved in far more than you bargained for.
Special Add-On
Make the experience extra memorable by surprising your date by assigning them the character of the Janitor, and watch them play out an integral part of the immersive storyline. Whilst it may appear this individual draws the short straw, it may just be they have the key to help all the inmates escape once and for all.
Includes their own costume pieces during the show.
*Add during checkout if available.
Date night ideas for non-drinkers
If neither you or your date is a fan of drinking, not to worry. Alcotraz Bristol ticks the boxes for drinkers and teetotalers alike, because we’re so much more than a bar – with something for everyone to enjoy!
Whether the two of you want to sit back and get to know each other more, or pair up to take part in bonding mini games to outsmart the warden, you’ll never experience a Bristol date night like this. And why not make it a double date, by sharing a cell and bringing along your favourite couple for the experience?
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.
If attending as a couple we will do our best to ensure that you are kept separate from others but on occasion this is not always possible and there is a chance that you may end up within the same cell as another couple or small group.
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.
We recommend 1 x 35cl of base spirit per couple.
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!
No not at all, the experience is great for both couples and groups.
