Hen Do Venue in London
What better way to celebrate wed-lock than by being locked-up? Grab your gang, line up behind the metal detector, and celebrate your hen do with something completely different at the flagship Alcotraz Penitentiary, which promises to be one of the most unique hen do venues in London. Situated in the heart of the capital, our hen party packages are specifically tailored for groups of fun-loving criminals. Just make sure you escape before the big day.
A hen do like no other
Welcome to Alcotraz, a theatrical experience that is so much more than a themed cocktail bar. This hen do venue combines the very best of immersive theatre with a world-class drinking experience, and offers an activity that’s perfect for both small and large groups of hens.
A place as scandalous as Alcotraz is just the ticket for hens on the verge of the big day – guaranteed to create brilliant memories with the girls that you’ll never forget. Before you get behind bars, you and your fellow fugitives have only one mission: smuggle liquor into the prison under instruction of a notorious bootlegging gang who will use your contraband to create delicious and bespoke cocktails.
The guards will sign you in and hand out your outfits for the evening – but don’t worry, the guards are on the take, and are just as keen to party as you are. The only one you need to watch out for is the Warden…
Entertainment for everyone
At our hen dos in London, we’re all about delivering a great night for everyone involved.
Almost everyone you encounter within Alcotraz, is an actor. They’re not just here to show you to your cell and mix your cocktails (or mocktails), they will also transport you into the exciting and thrilling world that is Alcotraz Penitentiary. Every visit is completely unique and you and your girl gang will become the main characters in a constantly changing storyline. Guests who manage to win the favour of the crooked guards will gain access to explore secret areas, such as the Solitary Confinement Block or the Warden’s Office. Will you help Inmate Cassidy hatch the perfect escape plan or will you provide intel to the Warden that could see the criminal empire crumble? Perhaps you will work with the guards to uncover the secret happenings inside the prison or perhaps you’d just like to soak up the atmosphere inside your incredibly realistic jail cell… There’s something for every personality, and we guarantee a night the bride-to-be will never forget.
For an extra special hen do
Make the experience extra memorable by assigning the hen 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.
