What people hire it for

Anything that deserves better than a function room.

Christmas parties

The one your team will actually talk about in January. Two hours of activities in teams, then the lounge, the league table and the champion's trophy.

Product launches & clear-outs

Launch the new thing by taking a sledgehammer to the old one. We prep your retired product, signage or paperwork as the smash items and film it.

Team days & offsites

Morning in the lounge with your own agenda on our screen, afternoon rotating through the activities. Catering delivered, invoice to the company.

Big birthdays

18th, 21st, 30th, 40th. Lounge to yourselves, your playlist everywhere, and four things to do that aren't a pub.

Societies & socials

Student groups, sports clubs, five-a-side teams. Half takeover rates for 30, and the league table settles everything.

Filming & photo shoots

A rage room, a blacklight splatter room and caged axe lanes under one roof. Daytime location hire by the hour, breakables supplied to order.

How it works

One enquiry. One host. One winner.

  1. 1

    Enquire

    Date, rough numbers, what you're celebrating. We reply within a working day with a plan and a price, and hold the date for 7 days.

  2. 2

    Plan

    We build the rotation so nobody's waiting more than a round, sort catering and branding, and send one page your guests can read in a minute.

  3. 3

    Arrive

    Hosts at the door, kit laid out, waivers signed on phones in the lounge, briefing done in one go. Then the activities start.

  4. 4

    Finish in the lounge

    Scores on the screen, a champion crowned, food out and the snack bar open. Then the pub, which is five minutes' walk.

The space

Built for the bit between the activities.

The lounge sits in the middle of the building with the viewing windows into the rage rooms on one side and the range and lanes on the other, so your guests watch each other while they wait. Seats about 40, stands 60, with a snack bar for soft drinks, hot drinks and snacks, a big screen for the league table or your slides, and a sound system you control.

There's no bar and we don't serve alcohol, which is what keeps the sledgehammers and axes simple. Bring the group here first and the pub, five minutes' walk, afterwards.

Capacity

Lounge + one activity: 24. Half takeover: 30 with two activities running. Full takeover: 60 with all four.

Timings

Daytime, evening and weekend slots. Hire includes set-up and clear-down; extra hours at the rate on each package.

Access

Step-free into the lounge and the splatter room. Tell us about any access needs and we'll plan the rotation around them.

FAQ

Event questions.

How many people can the venue take?

Up to 60 for a full takeover, with everyone rotating through the activities in teams of six and the rest in the lounge. Lounge + One Activity takes 24, Half Takeover 30. For 25 to 60 we plan the rotation with you so nobody waits more than a round.

Can we hire just the lounge, without activities?

No. Every hire includes at least one activity for everyone, because the activities are the point: a room with a snack bar is something Brighton has plenty of. If you have an unusual need, like a daytime meeting with one activity at the end, message us and we'll shape it.

Can we bring our own food and drink?

Food, yes — or use one of our catering partners for pizza or street food delivered to the lounge. There's no bar: we run a snack bar with soft drinks, hot drinks and snacks, and no alcohol is served or allowed on the premises. The pub is five minutes' walk for afterwards.

Can you brand it?

Yes. Your logo on the lounge screens and scoreboards, and for launches and office clear-outs we'll prep your old product, signage or paperwork as the smash items. There's nothing quite like a team taking a sledgehammer to last year's branding.

How does booking work?

Send the enquiry below with your date, numbers and what you have in mind. Before we open nothing is paid: we reply with a plan and a price, hold the date, and confirm bookings once our opening date is fixed. Headcount can move up or down by 10% until a week out.

Can we hire it for filming or a photo shoot?

Yes, daytime weekdays. The rage room, the UV splatter room and the axe lanes all photograph well, and we can supply breakables to order. Location hire is priced per hour with a member of staff present throughout.

Do we still get the early-access discount?

Everyone on the list gets 25% off their first personal session, which isn't the same thing as an event. But book an event in our first three months and we'll knock 10% off the hire fee — join the list and ask.

Enquire

Tell us about the event.

A date, a rough headcount and what you're celebrating is enough. We'll come back within a working day. Or email hello@breakworks.co.uk.
