Birthday Activity Ideas for Adults
As you know, group activities can cover pretty much every occasion – and what better occasion to go all out for than a birthday celebration! Birthday activity ideas for adults can often get overlooked, and people think that a proper birthday party ends when you get to the age of 12. We say forget that.
Birthday celebrations creates a big scope, so we have a big scope of group activities to match any circumstances. If you’re organised a big 21st birthday night out and need some evening entertainment, have everyone learn to make their own cocktails or just hire a booth for the evening in Bristol’s Pryzm nightclub.
On the other end of the spectrum, there’s plenty of daytime activities you can enjoy at any age, that are good for mixed aged groups like a family weekend away in Bristol. Sophisticated experiences are a popular choice for people looking for 40th birthday party activities, and options like the classic afternoon tea are great to break up the day.
Ladies Night Out
Here at Funktion, or motto is that there’s always an excuse for a ladies night out, even if there’s nothing to celebrate other than good ol’ girl power and your boss female friendships. If you’re planning a glitz and glam girls night out in Bristol, it’s probably best to do a bit of research beforehand so you know the best places to hit in order to get the most out of the city.
Whether you’re a Bristol native or just visiting, it’s important to know the places to be when the sun goes down. Especially for a ladies night out, you don’t want to be faffing about trying to find the best places to go! The Waterfront, Central City and King Street are by far the most popular after dark, housing the best bars and nightclubs the city has to offer.
Because of the sheer size of Bristol, a lot of popular places and events travel through town that you can also enjoy on a ladies night out. One of these is the infamous Dreamboys Male Strip Show for hunky male strippers, a steamy show and meet and greet with the boys afterwards.
See our hen parties in Bristol for a more specified selection of ideas.

Bristol is a big city, and a lot of the reason the cogs keep working in the background is all the businesses, companies and offices that are dotted all around this South West destination. These offices have people, and these people will sometimes want to do something fun with their colleagues – and group activities can cover that to!
