Halloween Games Night Social @ RoxyLanes

Young Professionals Nottingham are taking over RoxyLanes on Saturday 31 October for their Halloween Games Night Social, a night of bowling, pool and drinks in the city centre. It's run by the Young Professionals Nottingham group, a friendly collective of professionals who've been putting on events across Nottingham since early 2024 — everything from after-work drinks and networking sessions to professional talks, meals out, walks and fitness activities. They're billing this as Nottingham's biggest Halloween social, aimed squarely at young professionals in their early 20s to late 30s.

The night blends a curated evening of networking and drinks with a games room that runs on unlimited bowling and pool. Beyond that, there's tech darts, ice-free curling, a batting cage, four-way beer pong, shuffleboard and karaoke to work your way through. Fancy dress is advised and there's a prize for the best costume, with an after-party following on from 9:30pm. The organisers say last year's edition was their biggest yet, with more than 60 people turning up, and they're aiming to make this one bigger and better.

It's at RoxyLanes Nottingham, The Pod, 12 Bottle Ln, Nottingham NG1 2HL. Check-in is from 7pm, with the games running from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, and the whole thing wrapping up by 11pm. Tickets are £10.49 Early Bird, £13.49 Standard, and £15.99 Final Release.
