The Janitor
Perfect for those looking to stitch up one of their gang. Includes your own costume pieces during the show. The Warden has made the external janitorial team redundant and has off-loaded the task to the inmates. 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.
The Mole
Perfect for those looking to get a little more out of their immersive experience. Includes your own unique storyline path. Your identity will help build some relationships and destroy others, so choose wisely who to reveal this to. Remember, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
The escape artist
Perfect for those looking to get a little more out of their immersive experience. Includes your own costume piece used throughout the show. Having successfully broken out of their last three Penitentiaries the Warden will be keeping a watchful eye on this person but there may also be some inmates who are interested in their particular set of skills.
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…
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.
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.
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’ll 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.
What do I wear to Alcotraz?
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.
Do you offer anything special for the Hen?
At checkout, you can add characters onto your booking, giving certain individuals an even more special experience. Why not transform the hen into the janitor for the evening?

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.
What size jumpsuits do you provide?
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.
What alcohol can I bring with me?
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.
Can I bring opened bottles of alcohol?
Alcotraz operates a closed bottle policy, meaning we will not accept any bottles previously opened. Please only bring new, unopened and sealed bottles.
How many drinks are included?
Inmates get approximately 4 personalised cocktails delivered by our expert mixologists, using the liquor you smuggle in with you.

I'm a group of 8 or more, can I reserve tickets before I buy or pay a deposit?
In some cases, we allow reservations of Alcotraz tickets in order to give you time to collect the money from your fellow fugitives – so you can pay for all in one transaction.
We can offer the above if your group size is 8 or more and your event date is 2 or more months away.
Your payment date will be set as the 3rd of next month (after pay day) and if not paid by this date, the link will then expire. We may not be able to issue you a new link if there are not enough tickets left after this or your event date is too close.
If you would like to go ahead, please email thewarden@alcotraz.co.uk the below information:
– Event Date
– Start time
– Number of people
– Full name
Do you offer payment plans or split payments?
Currently, we do offer Klarna as a payment option for splitting or spreading payments when booking for London, Liverpool or Bristol and when your order is £350 or more (8 or more Rookie Tickets).
At this time, this option is not available for Brighton, Cardiff or Manchester.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Unfortunately we are unable to refund or cancel bookings, however, it is possible to move your booking to another day if we are given appropriate notice depending on your group size. If your group is 5 or less, please provide 48 hours notice prior to your visit. If your group is 6 or more, please provide 96 hours notice prior to your visit.
