Since opening in May 2000, Xscape has been a go-to destination for shopping, dining, and adventure – and it’s open every day from 8am to midnight, so there’s plenty to enjoy in the evening.

Shopping & Coffee?

If you’re planning a visit after work or school, don’t worry about shops closing early. Sporting stores like Evans Cycles, Ellis Bridgman, and Trespass usually close around 7pm, but there’s still lots to see and do. Fancy a coffee? Starbucks inside Cineworld is open until 8:30pm on weekdays and 10pm on weekends, or pop by Xspresso Net, a family-run café offering internet services, open until 9pm daily.

Want to Eat?

Feeling hungry? Whether it’s a quick bite before an activity or a relaxed dinner, Xscape has you covered. Grab something on the go from McDonald’s, Five Guys, Slim Chickens, Taco Bell, or Subway, or sit down and enjoy a meal from Nando’s, Namji, Pizza Express, Sumac, Vita, Wagamama, Wing Kingz, or Moon Under Water. For night owls, Moon Under Water stays open until midnight, perfect for a late dinner or drinks.

Looking for Things to Do?

Evenings at Xscape are packed with things to do for all ages. Get your heart racing at iFLY or Snozone (Snozone also hosts Parkology on Fridays – contact them for details), bounce around at Gravity, which offers trampolining as well as climbing walls (open Mon–Fri until 7pm, weekends until 5pm), enjoy some friendly competition at Hollywood Bowl, or test your putting skills at Adventure Golf at Volcano Falls, (karaoke and digital darts also available). Families can have fun at Escape Hunt, Funstation, or even catch a movie at Cineworld. Want to get fit? Nuffield Health Gym has evening sessions too (open till 10pm weekdays and 8pm weekends)!

Big Night Out

For a big night out in Milton Keynes, Xscape has it all under one roof. Start the evening with a relaxed meal and drinks at Wetherspoons, before heading to MERKUR Casino (gamble responsibility - +18), for some light gaming and slot machines in a vibrant, social atmosphere. From there, you can explore the other entertainment options Xscape has to offer, including bars, restaurants, and late-night activities, making it the perfect destination for friends or a night on the town. With everything conveniently located in one place, Xscape guarantees a fun, hassle-free evening packed with excitement and variety.

And the best part? Parking is free after 6pm, so you can stay longer and make the most of your evening.

Whether you’re grabbing dinner, enjoying some thrills, or just exploring, Xscape Milton Keynes after 5pm is the perfect spot for an evening out.
