Sweet Treats & Dessert Dates
Swap cocktails for cake? Yes please. Head to Kaspaâs Desserts in 12th Street for waffles, sundaes and over-the-top shakes, or swing by
Creams Café at Xscape to indulge in all things sweet and gooey. They're open late, fun with friends, and perfect for an after-dinner treat or a sugar-fuelled night out.
Jump, Fly or Slide into Action
If youâre the type who canât sit still, youâre in the right place. There are plenty of energetic options thatâll get your heart rate up â and give you loads to laugh about later.
Snozone: Try skiing or snowboarding on real snow
iFLY Indoor Skydiving: Feel the adrenaline without jumping out of a plane

Itâs fun, itâs social, and itâs way more memorable than just âgoing for a drinkâ.
Pamper Nights & Glow-Ups
Why not use your evening to treat yourself?
- Enjoy facials, laser treatments or beauty services at
Thérapie Clinic,
Laser Clinics,
H Beauty (all in centre:mk) or
Navara (Midsummer Place).
- These beauty destinations arenât open late every night â so definitely check ahead - but theyâre ideal for an after-work reset or a pre-weekend boost.
Book & Board Game Lovers
Waterstone's in Milton Keynes hosts a variety of engaging events for book lovers and hobbyists alike. Each month, they run a Monday Games Night, welcoming tabletop enthusiasts to try out new games or bring along their favourites for an evening of fun and friendly competition. For readers, the store also offers dedicated Science Fiction & Fantasy and Romance Book Clubs, providing a relaxed space to dive into new titles, share opinions, and connect with fellow fans of each genre. Whether you're into dice rolls or dramatic plot twists, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Get Entertained
Looking for a cultural night out? Milton Keynes Theatre is right in the heart of the city centre, offering everything from musicals and comedy to drama and dance. Grab a pizza or drink at their in-house bar and restaurant â but just remember, it only opens when a show is on. Or head to
Cineworld at Xscape for a blockbuster fix â nothing beats the big screen for unwinding after a long day.
Compete Without the Cocktails
You donât need to drink to have a blast - competitive socialising is one of the biggest trends in night-time fun, and MK City Centre has plenty of it. Challenge your mates to bowling at Lane7,
Hollywood Bowl or
Tenpin, get your golf game on at
Mr Mulligans or
Volcano Falls, or unleash your inner diva with karaoke at
Lane7,
Volcano Falls, or
Tenpin. Check out our Competitive Socialising guide to see all the options.
Challenge Your Friends (Or Your Brain)
Get locked in (willingly!) with your crew at Locked In A Room,
Escape Hunt, or
Tenpinâs escape rooms. Or settle in for a night of arcade action, ping pong, or retro games across several venues around the city.
Slow Evenings & Great Conversations
If your ideal evening is chilled, chatty and caffeine-fuelled, youâre covered too. There are plenty of spots where you can enjoy a late coffee or soft drink:
- Grab a booth at
Costa,
Starbucks, or
CaffĂš Nero, many of which stay open into the evening.
- Settle into the welcoming spaces at
Cosy Club or
Billâs, perfect for a relaxed catch-up.
- Or head to one of the city centreâs many hotels â like
Holiday Inn,
Moxy,
Leonardo, or
Hotel La Tour - which have inviting lobbies and lounges, ideal for a comfy coffee and conversation.
