Whether you fancy boating down the canal or battling it out on Pac Man, these creative post-exam celebration ideas will add a unique twist to your last nights out of the term and give you something to look forwards to in the final push of exam season.
1. Have a Floating Picnic on the Canal
With the newly launched GoBoat Birmingham, you can hire a boat with friends and explore Birmingham’s canal network. When you hop on at Brindley Place, the GoBoat team will teach you everything you need to know to drive your boat. Pack a picnic and some Prosecco for the ultimate celebration. Find out more on the GoBoat website.
2. Bottomless brunch
From Turtle Bay, to Gas Street Social to the Bristol Pear, there is a plethora of bars across Brum where you can enjoy a fun brunch with unlimited booze. Turtle Bay is my personal favourite due to its extensive cocktail menu, and its punchy espresso martini. Bottomless brunch is the perfect place to get dressed up and let loose after the exam season.
3. Live your Stranger Things dreams at NQ64 Arcade Bar
Whether you are a Mario Kart whiz or you can bust a move on the dance mats, NQ64 boasts a range of retro arcade games to suit everyone and bring a fun twist to a night out. With themed cocktails and aesthetic 80s décor, you can truly live out your coming-of-age movie dreams and take some great shots for Instagram whilst you play.
4. Challenge your friends at Chance and Counters Board Game Café
Situated in Digbeth at the heart of the iconic Custard Factory, Chance and Counters has an array of board games, from Kerplunk to Scrabble to Exploding Kittens for you to challenge your friends at. Not to mention, it does the best Biscoff milkshakes. A must add to your summer bucket list.
