How it works

One booking. One briefing. Then go.

  1. 1

    Pick your thing

    Rage room, archery, axes, splatter, or a combo of any of them. Build your own if the fixed packages don't fit. Groups and events: send an enquiry.

  2. 2

    Suit up

    Every activity has its own kit and a five-minute briefing. Waivers are signed on your phone in the lounge, once, for everything in your ticket.

  3. 3

    Go

    A staff member on every session: watching through the window, on the shooting line, in the axe lane, or handing you more paint.

  4. 4

    Finish in the lounge

    Scores on the screen, canvases wrapped, a photo on the way out. Then the pub, which is five minutes' walk.

Build your own

None of those quite right? Make one.

Pick what you want to do, how many of you there are and any extras. The price updates as you go, including the same savings as the fixed combos. Register interest in it, or save it to your early-access signup. No payment before we open.

Activities

Two activities save £5 a head, all three save £13.

How many of you

Who it's for

Anyone who's ever wanted to throw a printer out of a window.

Had a week

Boss, landlord, ex, inbox. Twenty minutes with a sledgehammer beats twenty minutes doomscrolling.

Birthdays & big nights

The thing nobody in the group has done before. Then the pub.

Stags & hens

Brighton's full of them. Give yours a story that isn't about the Pier.

Work socials

Team-building that people actually want to turn up to. Invoiced to the company.

Date night

Loud, a bit ridiculous, and you find out a lot about someone by how they swing a bat. Or by how they shoot.

Just curious

You've seen the videos. It's better in person.

Event space hire

Hire the place. The activities come with it.

A private lounge with a snack bar, a screen and a sound system, plus the activities for everyone: every hire includes at least one. Christmas parties, launches, team days, big birthdays, filming.

  • Lounge plus one activity from £750, up to 24 people
  • Full venue takeover from £2,400, every activity, up to 60 people
  • Your branding on the screens, your old product in the smash crate
  • Catering partners, company invoicing, one host for the whole night

Where we are

Central Brighton. Everyone else is a train away.

We're taking a unit in central Brighton, within walking distance of Brighton station and the seafront, so a session fits before dinner, after work or in the middle of a stag weekend. The exact address goes to the early-access list first.

Coming from further out? Most of Sussex is under an hour by train, and there's parking nearby for anyone bringing a car-boot of things to smash.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Is the rage room safe?

Yes. You wear a full-face shield, coveralls, heavy gloves and boot covers, you're in a purpose-built room with a staff member watching through the window, and you get a safety briefing first. Nobody shares a room with a swinging hammer: one person smashes at a time in Solo and Duo, with a clear zone for the other.

How old do I need to be?

Rage room: 18+, or 16–17 with a parent or guardian present who signs for them. Archery range: 16+ on your own, or 8–15 with a parent or guardian on the range. Axe throwing: 18+, or 14–17 with a parent or guardian in the lane.

What can I bring to smash?

Your own items are welcome if they're on our allowed list: crockery, glass bottles, small electronics without batteries or screens, picture frames, paperwork. No TVs with CRT tubes, no aerosols, no batteries, no liquids, nothing with a sentimental owner who'll want it back.

What's the archery range?

An indoor range next to the smash rooms: 10-metre lanes, target faces and 3D foam animals, recurve bows in a range of draw weights, and an instructor on the line. 30 minutes and 60 arrows from £25 a head, or add it to a rage room session as Smash & Shoot.

What's the axe throwing like?

Coached lanes with 12 ft wooden targets, hatchets to start and bigger axes once you're sticking them. 45 minutes from £28 a head, with games and a scoreboard. 18+, or 14–17 with a parent or guardian in the lane. Book it alone, or do all three as The Lot.

What's the UV splatter room?

A small blacklight room next to the smash rooms where you fling neon paint at a canvas and take it home. 30 minutes, coveralls and goggles supplied. £30 a head on its own, or £20 when you add it to any other activity. All ages with a guardian, so it's the one the whole family can do.

Can we hire the whole venue?

Yes, and every hire includes the activities. Lounge plus one activity for up to 24 from £750, lounge plus two for up to 30, or the entire building with every room, lane and canvas for up to 60. Christmas parties, launches, team days, birthdays and filming. See event space hire.

Where exactly in Brighton are you?

Central Brighton. We're finalising the unit now and the early-access list will be the first to know the address, before we announce it publicly.

When do you open?

We're aiming for early 2027. Everyone on the early-access list gets priority booking for the opening weeks, before public slots go live.

Can I drink first?

No. Anyone we think has been drinking or is under the influence won't be allowed in the room or on the range, and the session won't be refunded. The pub is for afterwards.

What should I wear?

Closed-toe shoes are essential (trainers are perfect), and clothes you don't mind getting dusty or, in the splatter room, a bit neon. We supply the coveralls, gloves, goggles and face protection.

What's the 25% early-access offer?

Join the list and you get 25% off your first session, valid for 3 months after we open, plus priority booking. The first 100 people on the list also get a free extra crate of breakables. No payment, no obligation.
