How To Organise An Unforgettable Stag Or Hen Do

Usually, if a stag or hen weekend results in someone being put in a prison cell then something has gone horribly wrong, but this isn’t the case when you come to Alcotraz. If you’re wanting to have an amazing experience that is memorable for all of the right reasons, then heading to Brighton for your stag or hen weekend and coming to Alcotraz is a must. 

It goes without saying that it can be incredibly difficult to plan something that is unique when you’re arranging a Brighton stag weekend or hen weekend, and instead of a standard bar crawl or an afternoon tea, booking an immersive cocktail experience will mean your stag or hen party is never forgotten. If you’re wondering what Alcotraz is all about or how you arrange the perfect stag or hen do in Brighton, keep reading today. 

Stag and hen party packages 

Like when you’re planning any other activity in Brighton for your hen or stag group, booking in advance is required at Alcotraz. We have a number of different stag and hen party packages in Brighton which are all specifically tailored for groups who are wanting to celebrate wed-lock by being locked-up. 

There are two main ways of booking Alcotraz for your stag or hen group; 

Groups under 30 

For smaller stag and hen parties, you can simply book via our website by clicking on the ‘book now’ button. The booking process is incredibly simple and you won’t struggle to book the perfect cell for all of your convicts. There are a few different prison cells to choose from, but our biggest cells are designed for up to six guests. However, if there are more than six of you, we will do our best to seat your group in adjacent or opposite cells. 

Of course, if you’d prefer to, you can simply contact our team and tell them all about your hen or stag do in Brighton. We will help you plan the perfect trip to Alcotraz.

Groups over 30 

For bigger hen and stag parties, we recommend that you privately hire the whole venue for your visit. This really is the ultimate lock-in and it gives you access to all of the different cells in the secret basement prison. Private hire in Brighton is suitable for up to 40 inmates and the prison is available for hire requests every day.

When exclusively hiring the venue, our team can pre-arrange a secret stash of liquor hidden in your cells and our canteen can deliver food to your cells too. Get in touch with us today to discuss your private hire needs for a truly unforgettable event. 

BYOB

It is important to note that Alcotraz works slightly differently to any other ‘cocktail bar’ you might’ve been to in the past and we operate on a BYOB (bring your own booze) basis. So, you will be instructed by notorious bootleggers to smuggle in liquor to be used to make delicious, bespoke cocktails. 

The cocktails that are created for your stag or hen group will differ depending on the liquor that you bring with you, and your tastes, so try to bring a few variations within your group. Generally speaking, 70cl bottles of spirits are the easiest to smuggle in and get past the warden, and whether you choose to bring vodka, gin, rum, tequila or whisky, you will get to enjoy a number of delicious cocktails in your cells. 

Organising a stag or hen do in Brighton 

It is fair to say that Alcotraz is the perfect backdrop to enjoy a quirky night out within an intimate, yet epic environment and if you’re in charge of planning a hen or stag do in Brighton, then for once, you will actually be in the good books if you get the whole group locked-up. Instead of booking a stereotypical hen or stag do activity, mix things up a little bit and give the bride or groom an incredible and unforgettable experience. 

To find out more about Alcotraz, you can visit the FAQ page on our website which will probably have all of the answers to your questions or you can get in touch with our team instead. We will gladly provide you with any additional information that you may require about booking a prison cell or two for your stag or hen party in Brighton. We look forward to hearing from you.
