‘Tis the season to get locked up, after all…

"All our work force got involved and it was great to see everyone work together to fool the Warden and never snitch. It was an utterly hilarious event and we will all be back next year. Thanks to all the team!"

"We absolutely loved Alcotraz . The actors and the cocktails were superb. One of our drinks tasted like mince pies which was our favourite. "
Joanne TripAdvisor
"Nobody in our party knew what to expect when we entered Alcotraz, we would normally have our Christmas parties on a night out in Covent Garden or with a dinner. But this event looked too good to pass up! It was simply brilliant."

"Spend your Christmas parties in prison! You will not regret it, we even felt like a private dining room with the pizza we had. Just an unmissable experience. Book now!"
Emily Google
"We took selfies on Tower Bridge and thought that was the best group photo until we got on the prison block. The whole place is one big photo op. Can't recommend Alcotraz London enough and will be visiting other cities and locations."

A Christmas behind bars

This Christmas, do something completely different to celebrate. Whether you’re booking a small festive gathering with your nearest and dearest accomplices, or you’re looking to hire the whole penitentiary for a work party, this unique Christmas party venue will have you locked up and having fun in no time.

When your sentence begins, and you step through the prison’s doors, you’ll be thrown right into an immersive prison storyline with you at the centre. You and your gang will be handed your own orange jumpsuit and tasked with smuggling your contraband (liquor of choice) past the guards in order to get your hands on stunning bespoke cocktails by our in-clink mixologists, and there’ll be real cells, great actors, prison radio and much more to enjoy.

Choose your city and get ready for a unique Christmas party that you’ll be talking about for the rest of your 25 to life.

 

A party for all

Not a big drinker? We get it. Even if alcohol isn’t your thing, there’s still plenty to be enjoyed at an Alcotraz Christmas party. Upon your conviction you will still be handed a jumpsuit and led to your cell, but our mixologists will instead craft delicious mocktails for you to enjoy.

And you can get involved as much or as little as you wish. Whether you prefer to sip in your cell and observe all the action around you, or jump right in to make yourself the centre of the storyline and take down the Warden, it truly is an experience to be enjoyed by all.

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 you want to spend more time behind bars, with time to mingle and eat pizza, you may want to consider our private hire package, exclusively for large groups of 30+.

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.

Most fugitives opt to smuggle in their own liquor, however, when exclusively hiring the prison space, if you wish, allow our team of trained bootleggers to pre-arrange a secret stash of liquor for your guests.

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.

When exclusively hiring the prison, have our canteen deliver food to your cell, whether it be a dinner of pizza rations or festive mince pies, our venue is happy to cater for your event and number of guests.

We recommend all events with group sizes over 30 should privately hire the venue for their party. Enquire about this here.

Better! There's a secret bar of expert cocktail makers ready to serve each person in your group and cater exactly to their tastes. Not a big drinker? We have delicious mocktail recipes. Prefer wine or beer with your prison sentence? Smuggle it in and we will gladly serve your wine while you serve your time.

The Warden might let you sing a classic Christmas Carol or two but if they catch you dancing they might think you've consumed contraband! Remember you're a bootlegger now and the Warden is always watching...

Absolutely! Alcotraz isn't just great for your Christmas party ideas, we lock up Hens, Stags, Birthdays and even a quirky date night! The ultimate private venue.

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!
