It’s time to venture out and have a brilliant night out in Plymouth, Britain’s Ocean City. There’s something you should probably know... you don’t have to wait until the weekend to head out into the city, it’s buzzing even on a school night!

And what’s more Plymouth’s bars, pubs and venues have so much more to offer than a warm pint and a bag of ready salted.

Axe throwing, adventure golf, escape rooms... then have a locally brewed pint, a fancy cocktail (or indeed a mocktail) and settle down for a night of social shenanigans. It’s time to embrace Autumn and enjoy Plymouth after-dark.
