Plonk Golf
Multiple Locations
Plonk golf is the brain child of a troop of set designers from the film industry who banded together for a common cause. Their combined set of creative skills birthed one of the greatest Crazy Gold courses in London, and then erected them throughout the capital following its success. Plonk can now be found in Shoreditch, Camden Market, Borough Market and Hackney, making it super accessible and a great choice for last minute plans.
The best part by par (geddit?) is not only is it a fun day out for the kids but adults too. There are themed courses with food, arcade games and even a bar so everyone is entertained. The Haggerston venue also prides itself on being entirely from 100% upcycled materials rescued from the streets of Hackney. There are special events and deals to enjoy during the week so keep your eye on what's coming up next! Ticket prices start from £7.50 and can be purchased here. Let's get this par-tee started!
Swingers
West End: 15 John Prince's Street, W1G 0AB
City: 8 Brown's Buildings, London EC3A 8AL
Combine two multi-million pound 9-hole golf courses with three incredible street-food vendors (such as Patty & Bun and Breddos Tacos) and five bars and you get Swingers! Started in 2014, and originally just a 5 month pop-up founders Matt and Jeremy wanted to test out whether the combination of crazy golf and cocktails was a thing... and guess what; it putting was!

Golf, but make it tech. Mini golf at Puttshack steps into a totally new age.

No cheating here! Magic sensors will track every putt and push of the ball, with challenges involving you in games of beer-pong, trivia and everything else that makes crazy golf as mad as can be!
There are locations across London too so you can enjoy the experience no matter what part of town you're in. Step into the colourful ambiance and get stuck in. For when you're not dominating the mini golf course, the venue's great bar serves delicious food and drink (all the guilty pleasure basically) to tuck into after you've worked up an appetite!
