We had the best time ever ! We didn’t really know what to expect but was blown away by the whole experience. Massive thanks to Willy, Gill, Cassidy and Richard (Dick) the warden for such a great time. The cocktails were fabulous and we laughed from the minute we arrived until the end. Would definitely recommend this experience. Go along and embrace the activity to get the most out of it. Not to be missed ! !

This was an absolutely amazing experience, we laughed from beginning to end. Everyone is amazing, the staff, the inmates and the warden are all totally brilliant even down to the security guard in the yard, they are all amazing 🥰❤️ we went for my daughters hen do and we had the best time, our faces we're hurting from laughing, the cocktails are amazing, so delicious 😋 and we got some great photos of our experience. We also went to the Yard beforehand and I would definitely advise anyone who is doing THE Alcatraz to do The Yard beforehand, it's a brilliant start to the experience and great fun 💕 overall one of the best experiences we've ever done..it truly is worth every penny for the most fantastic night...but do the Yard too..it really is a huge part of the experience ❤️ highly recommend for a fantastic night 💕❤️ The manager of the whole event is also awesome 👍 she looked after us well as did all the actor and staff 💕😍🥰 Thank you all at Alcatraz and The Yard you made my daughters hen do very memorable 🥰❤️ x

Let down by the manager

Lynsey_B, May 2025
The manager let it down. Awful attitude to the group in front of us which in turn set our night off to a bad start. We waited twenty five minutes past the entry time outside to enter. Other staff were great

Had a great time, so funny, only thing wasn't keen on cocktails, but definitely would do it again, the warden was good and funny

Great Experience!

David_W, Jul 2024
Smuggling your bottle is a laugh and listen to the guys and girls, they are great actors and make it authentic. When you fill in your prison cards, do it for each other, it makes it more a laugh!

Great experience

Ryan_M, Jun 2024
Came here for a friend’s hen do. My friend was not disappointed, she loved every minute. The warden, Willy and the other actors were brilliant! Stayed in character the whole time. Plenty of cocktails we had four plus you get a shot of some red sauce! I thought the storyline could have had more meat to it personally!

Hilarious

Great fun and something a little different

Vicky_S, Jan 2024
What a fab experience from start to finish. The actors were superb, the set up of the place was brilliant and we just had the best fun. Each cell had to complete little missions which was great entertainment. The cocktails that were made for us were delicious and really different. Would highly recommend! Just loved the whole event!
