Going ‘out out’ these days doesn’t have to mean hitting the clubs anymore. These are 10 of the coolest nights out you won’t want to miss a second of…
Whistle Punks
London, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol
We love going out because it’s an opportunity to let our hair down – and what better way is there to relieve stress than by throwing axes?
Whistle Punks brings this woodland hobby into the heart of the city, giving you and your friends the freedom to learn about this unusual activity to the tune of some banging beats and with the help of some expert instructors.
By the end of the night, you’ll be hurling axes like a pro. And who knows? Maybe you’ll even learn some neat tricks – like throwing two axes at a time (all without hurting anyone!).
Dabbers Social Bingo
London
You might associate bingo with old ladies gathered in town halls, and, to be honest, that generalisation is not wrong. But the art of bingo is now undergoing a bit of rejuvenation – and Dabbers Social Bingo is leading the way.
With comedians hosting the game, boozy brunch sessions, live music acts and prizes that are actually worth having, this game has finally become cool again.
So rock up with your crew, order a few cocktails and dabble in some hilarity.
Cirque Le Soir
London and Manchester
If you like a touch of glamour on the side of your childish antics, Cirque Le Soir might be just the thing for you.
On the face of it, it’s a normal night club – but once you step through the doors, you enter a world of sexy burlesque, daring fire eaters and a real-life fun fair.
Pair this with incredible music, oodles of fizz and a ball pit – yes, an actual ball pit – and you’ve got yourself a night out you won’t be forgetting any time soon.
No more FOMO with Nordic Spirit
If you’re an adult smoker, being able to light up when you’re letting your hair down isn’t always achievable.
But getting your nicotine kick without bothering your friends is possible with Nordic Spirit.
Developed in Sweden, these tobacco-free pouches are convenient and discreet, and are flavoured with refreshing Mint and fruity Bergamot Wildberry. Simply pop them under your top or bottom lip any time, anywhere – including when out with friends.
Try 20 pouches for £6.50
Gingerline
London
The Gingerline group refers to itself as a gathering of ‘clandestine dining adventurers’, and they have a real knack for creating immersive dining experiences across London.
There are a few of these happening before the end of the year, all of which will take place at secret locations along the London overground line.
Chambers takes diners through different rooms as they enter new dimensions for each course, while The Grand Expedition, which returns in November, celebrates childhood stories through live animation, acting and dancing – and incredible food, obvs.
Whichever one takes your fancy, be quick about it, because tickets for these exclusive sessions never stick around for long.
Botanical Boys
London
Turning the traditional night out completely on its head, the Botanical Boys have an offering that’s got fun, relaxation and even a little bit of education wrapped up in one.
The horticultural brains behind this venture offer terrarium masterclasses, where you can handcraft your very own self-sustaining terrarium. Pop along with a group, drink some fizz and come away not only with some newfound knowledge about this art, but with your very own terrarium to keep forever.

Sounds Familiar Music Quiz
London
Think you know your music? Then gather your pals and put your brains to the test at Sounds Familiar.
It’s a music quiz like no other. Contestants are challenged on their ability to identify a number of songs that have been mashed together in catchy reinventions, name the diva behind the song and much, much more.
What’s especially great about this quiz, is that there comes a point where people stop playing and just sing their hearts out – amazing.
clueQuest
London
Fancy a bit of escapism on a night out? Then clueQuest might be just the thing you need.
This escape room game is one of the top-rated in the UK and has a number of different 60-minute missions for you and your friends to tackle.
Sharp minds are needed to solve Revenge of The Sheep, where you need to work your way through a room and find clues to stop a certain Professor BlackSheep unleashing his sheep-mutating device, while history boffins might be drawn to the virtual reality world of Escape The Lost Pyramid.
Even if you don’t manage to escape any of the rooms, it’s a good laugh for a group – and victors have the great bars and restaurants of King’s Cross nearby to celebrate their victory in afterwards.
Journey To The Underworld
London
A slap-up meal is a failsafe way to have a corker of a night out. But it doesn’t have to all be about the food, as Journey To The Underworld reveals.
Brave travellers will board a train at Pedley Street Station and prepare to venture into a world of demons in this theatrical dining experience. Guests can eat and drink their way through an evening of virtual reality, and experience the downright weird and completely wonderful as their train takes them further into the Earth’s depths.
It certainly beats the usual train commute.

London Shuffle Club
London
There’s clearly a market for old-school past times getting a reboot, because another one of London’s latest must-try hangouts is the London Shuffle Club, a reimagining of the traditional table game.
Punters can play the original version or the modern floor equivalent outdoors, using cues to push discs to key areas on a scoring triangle. The aim is to get more points than the other team. Paired with a slice of pizza, the whole thing makes for a super chill evening with friends.
Although watch out – it can get competitive very quickly!
Skuna Hot Tub Boat
London
One of London’s most alluring qualities is, without a doubt, its waterways. From the River Thames to its winding canals, you’re never far from a peaceful spot with charming waterside views.
There are plenty of ways to enjoy these areas too, be it at a riverside bar or aboard a boat which takes you on a dining tour through the canals of north London.
But now there’s a new way to experience London’s aquatic side – and it involves a floating hot tub.
Skuna Hot Tub Boats allow you to drift about the capital’s prettiest canals with your pals in a cosy 38-degree bath, accompanied by bubbles. Bliss.
