PLAYXPERIENCE - THE OFFICIAL GUIDE FOR BIG WEEKENDERS

THE OFFICIAL GUIDE

OUR BIG WEEKENDERS JUST GOT EVEN BIGGER We’ve taken things to a whole new level with our brand new activity centre, PLAYXPERIENCE, in Bognor Regis.

Set over two floors and covering nearly 50,000 square feet, this immersive indoor hub features nine state-of-the-art experiences, all under one roof - as well as a fancy new bar!

Expect mind-blowing, adrenaline-pumping activities and interactive bar games in the evening. Take on themed escape rooms, putt your stuff in TechPutt, or challenge your mates to digital darts in the bar.

DON’T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME!

WE’RE NOT “ALL ABOUT THE BASE” There’s more to our Big Weekenders than incredible line-ups and headline acts. While live performances, pool parties, and bottomless brunches are what we do best, our new daytime activities add an extra dimension of fun to your plans — meaning you really can play all day and night.

Home to nine state-of-the-art experiences, PLAYXPERIENCE is so-called for a reason. From themed escape rooms and hi-tech mini golf, to Shuffleboard for the more patient among you, and eight digital dart boards in The Bar, it’s the perfect place to top up your social tank with belly-laughing moments you’ll be reminiscing about forever.

And there’s nothing more bonding than a bit of healthy competition between friends! Whether you’re nursing a sore head or feeling right as rain, get your mates up and out, and get ready to play. Who’s taking home the crown?

NEXT-LEVEL DRINKING GAMES All this gaming is thirsty work, so the bar is set high (‘scuse the pun) in this brand-new landmark location that’s serving dusk ‘til dawn! This stylish openplan space is the perfect destination to hang out with your mates, and enjoy those ice-cold beers, tasty cocktails and great wines. And because that weekender feeling is a real thing, bring your first night fever straight to The Bar for HAPPY HOUR, EVERY FRIDAY FROM 4-6PM. Whether you’re busy cheering that ‘hole in one’ or keeping an eye out for any cheating, you can stay in the game as we’ll deliver drinks straight to your activity.

And while it goes without saying, “you’ve got to be in it to win it,” you can still enjoy the bar all weekend, even if you’re not taking part in one of our activities!

IT DOESN’T TAKE A GENIUS TO WORK IT OUT 42

THE IMPORTANT BIT Making memories doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg, or be complete agro for the organiser. When it comes to balancing group budgets, deciding what to do, and the logistical nightmare of herding everyone around - it’s easy to just not bother!

With PLAYXPERIENCE, you’ll be worrying more about being left locked in an Escape Room, rather than how much money is left in the kitty! Book your activities upfront to get the best value, buy them online a week in advance or pay on the day! However you choose to pay, make sure there’s enough left over for a round in the bar!

ACTIVITY TOKENS

THE BEST WAY TO PAY This one’s for the party planner! If you know exactly what you want to do and when you want to do it, the best way to pay for your activities is by purchasing Activity Tokens via MY ACCOUNT or the APP. Buying Activity Tokens before you arrive is the most cost-effective way to pay, meaning you can save more and play more at the same time. The booking window for redeeming your tokens opens 28 days before your weekender starts, so you’ll get first pick of activities and timeslots, ensuring you and your mates don’t miss out and can plan the rest of your weekend around it.

WANT TO BOOK

BUT DON’T HAVE THE APP? Whether you’re a natural leader or you’ve been royally stitched up, we know it’s a tough gig being the lead booker for a large group. So, if you’ve gone on strike after making the initial booking, feel free to send this to any of your mates, and they can step in to finish the job using our new online activity booking tool.

When the booking window opens 7 days before your weekend begins, simply scan the QR code, select an activity and time, and pay directly. This option’s great if you’re looking to sort things out for yourself or if you all fancy doing different things. However, Tokens are still the best option for value and availability!

FANCY A GAME

BUT HAVEN’T PRE-BOOKED? Don’t worry! If you’ve got commitment issues (you know who you are...) or you’re feeling spontaneous, you can simply turn up and choose an activity when you’re ready to play. Heads up: if you’re chancing your luck on the day, some of our activities may already be fully booked. Be sure to head to one of our booking points when you arrive to see what’s available and when. If there’s something you’re really keen to try, or if you have a large group, we recommend purchasing Activity Tokens or using the QR code before you arrive to get the best value and avoid missing out.
