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

Your logo on every screen and scoreboard, a tournament bracket with your teams on it, the launch itself on the big screen in the lounge, and we film the lot.

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 neon games floor, pool tables and caged axe lanes under one roof. Daytime location hire by the hour.

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 games floor and pool tables on one side and the axe lanes on the other, so your guests watch each other while they wait. Seats 40 for a meal, 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 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 standing with all three, or 40 if everyone sits down to eat.

Everyone throws

In event format each axe lane runs 30-minute slots of six with a coach, so a full takeover of 60 all get a go inside the three hours, with the games floor and pool tables for everyone in between.

Timings & rates

Weekday daytime hires finishing by 6pm are off-peak: £560, £900 and £1,800 for the three tiers. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays are peak. Extra hours at the rate on each package.

Weddings and big birthdays

Evening and weekend takeovers with your playlist everywhere, catering in the lounge and the activities for every guest who wants a go.

Access

Step-free into the lounge, the games floor and the pool tables. 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 standing for a full takeover, or 40 if everyone sits down to eat. Everyone rotates through the axe lanes in teams of six on 30-minute event slots, so all 60 throw inside three hours, with the games floor, the pool tables and the lounge for everyone in between. Lounge + One Activity takes 24, Half Takeover 30.

Is there an off-peak rate?

Yes. Weekday hires finishing by 6pm are off-peak: £560 for Lounge + One Activity, £900 for a Half Takeover and £1,800 for a Full Takeover, because a Tuesday team day costs us nothing in lost trade. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays are peak at £750, £1,200 and £2,400.

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 the scoreboards, a custom tournament bracket for your teams, and your logo on the digital targets in the lanes if you want it.

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 neon games floor, the pool tables and the caged axe lanes all photograph well. 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.

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@chillpit.co.uk.
