The No Work Club wants to be a space for people to escape from daily life
A new venue packed with activities for both children and adults is coming to Peterborough. The No Work Club, which already has a location in Lincoln, wants to be the “leading brand in social entertainment” and “create a place where people can unwind”.
The No Work Club has been described as an “after-hours playground” with escape rooms and axe throwing on offer. Rebe Hawes, the Operation Manager for No Work Club, said: “We want people to have a great time and escape from reality. Our whole mantra is saying we want to disrupt normal life.
“We managed to grab ourselves a perfect space with Nene Park and we are working with the Blind Tiger to rent their upstairs area. They have a bar downstairs. It was honestly a great deal, location, and area so we thought we’ve got to have it.”
The Peterborough site plans to have six axe throwing lanes, three escape rooms, and nine holes of crazy golf. The No Work Club will also have some interactive dart boards on offer.
Miss Hawes said: “What I’m most excited about is the escape rooms because they have been built from scratch. We’re currently getting that worked out and set up. They are going to have a mix of both technical things to work out and open as well as a mix of padlocks here and there. So I’m really excited to see how they come out.”
The site will be aimed at everyone and gives people a place to go with their whole families. Miss Hawes added: “I say it is for adults but obviously, it’s great for children as well. We have an age limit of 10 and above for the axe throwing but there is no age limit for the golf and escape rooms. In a way, we want the adults to come and have fun because we want them to get away from work and daily life.”
Miss Hawes believes having all of the activities “in one space” will help it to stand out in the city. Visitors will also be able to enjoy the drinks and food at the Blind Tiger so won’t need to leave the area if they want to spend a day there.
Miss Hawes continued: “I know there’s already axe throwing place in Peterborough, which is a bit more in the centre. We want to offer a bit more variety. We want it to be a hangout place where people cane stay for a couple of hours and they don’t need to go anywhere else. It’s not too far from the caravan site so we want people to know there are things to do in the area.”
Miss Hawes described the brand as “different” with a set colour scheme that is “quite grungy”. Miss Hawes said people should “keep an eye on social media” for any opening discounts the No Work Club might be offering to celebrate the new location.
The No Work Club is hoping to open on Saturday, March 28. It can be found on Ham Lane in Peterborough, above the Blind Tiger taproom.
