Ahoy me hearties!

Dry January is coming to an end and what better way to celebrate sobriety than by attending a Secret Rum Lagoon*

From the 1st February Shepherd’s Bush will play host to The Lost Lagoon, a theatrical, multi-sensory cocktail experience aiming to explore all that rum has to offer.  A man-made lake awaits you – by which you can cross by boat – and a myriad of drinks to plunder.

 

If the second month of the year is one that holds no excitement for you then grab your ‘Neo Tiki’ outfit (which is entirely up to you to figure out), a bag full of pieces of eight and head over to West London for a booty-ful (OK I’ll stop) adventure.

 

The Time:  1st Feb – 7th April, Thursday – Saturday 2pm – 10.30pm / Sundays 12pm – 8.30pm

The Place:  West 12 Shopping Centre, Shepherd’s Bush

Tickets:  Preview Tickets – £20  /  Off Peak times – £25  /  Off Peak VIP – £40  /  Peak times – £30  /  Peak VIP –  £45 (booking fee applies to all tickets) Click HERE for tickets

Cinema by the Pool

Pools are great but do you know what would make them better, a movie. Imagine laying on a lounger with your drink of choice, relaxing, and then a movie starts adding to your chilled out-ness, great stuff.

This sound good to you? Then you need to head to the Sheraton Skyline Hotel in Hayes. 

Once a month from Jan 2019 you can watch a classic movie, with a complimentary drink and popcorn, while sitting by an indoor pool (nobody wants to by an outdoor pool in the cold) enjoying the scenery. That may help to drive away the winter blues.

 

Where:  Sheraton Skyline Hotel, Heathrow Airport, Bath Road, Hillingdon, Hayes UB3 5BP

When:  From 25th January 2019, 7.30pm – 11.30pm, Movie showing on the 25th will be Pretty Woman

Tickets:  Tickets cost £18 from here, available to ages 15yrs +

Travel:  Onsite parking available, Piccadilly Line and Heathrow Express a short walk from the hotel.

Had a hard day at work?

Need to let off some steam?

Want to throw an axe at something but don’t want to go down for distruction of public property or murder?

Well then me thinks you need to spend a few hours at Whistle Punks, an axe throwing party for all.

After some safety training from Whistle’s in-house throwing coaches you’ll be able to let rip on the wooden targets along with your friends, just remember to keep the competitiveness friendly, axes are no joke people.

The Time:  Confirmed when booking tickets, Sundays are considered Off Peak times.

Tickets:  Ticket prices start from £22 during Off Peak times and £29 during Peak Bookings can be made here
