If you’ve been wondering what to expect from an adult only weekend that doesn’t involve airport queues, language barriers or WhatsApp chaos, you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re single, bringing your partner, or showing up with a whole gang of mates, there’s something really refreshing about a weekend that’s just for adults: no kids, no stress, and absolutely no pressure to “do it all”.
We’ve run these weekends for over 30 years, and here’s exactly what you can expect.
Who Are Adult Only Weekends For?
In short: anyone aged 18 or over who just wants a good time, in good company, with zero hassle.
We welcome solo travellers, couples, siblings, friendship groups, work mates, birthday crews, and everyone in between. Whether you’re 18, 88 or even beyond, you’ll find the vibe is warm, welcoming and inclusive. Nobody’s left out and nobody’s expected to perform — just turn up and be yourself.
What Actually Happens on an Adult Only Weekend?
Think of it like a mini holiday that’s already planned for you.
You’ll have your accommodation sorted, food taken care of, entertainment lined up, and a late bar within walking distance of your bed.
There’s live music across the decades, themed parties (with or without fancy dress), quizzes, karaoke, skittles, darts and space to just unwind. Want to dance all night? Great. Want to sit with your mates and put the world to rights over a pint? Even better.
No spreadsheets. No decisions to make. Just fun, food, and laughter with good people.
Still not sure what to expect from an adult only weekend? Here’s how it all comes together, from the coastal setting to the party atmosphere.
Where Do They Take Place?
We host our weekends at carefully chosen venues across some of the UK’s best coastal and countryside spots — from South Devon to Cornwall and the south coast.
These are places with sea air, moorland walks, space to breathe, and proper charm. Hotels and holiday centres with plenty of room to relax, eat, dance or just do your own thing — and they’re always 100% adult only for the weekend.
When Do They Run?
Our adult-only weekends are available throughout the year, with most dates in spring, summer, and autumn. Some guests come once a year, others make it part of their calendar. Some of our regulars book two or three a year!
You can absolutely make your weekend your own. Bring friends for a special celebration, get together a group of girlfriends for a spa break, fit in some golf with the guys. Our breaks are great for stag and hen weekends, especially when you’re bringing a wide age range of family and friends.
We run events most weekends, with a packed season of themed weekends, tournaments, and classic seaside getaways. You can see all our upcoming dates on the Serious About Events website or give us a ring for recommendations.
Why Choose a Hosted, All-In-One Break?
The short answer? You get all the fun without any of the planning stress.
Everything’s handled: from a scrummy breakfast and your Sunday roast to your evening playlist. You don’t need book separate rooms, or find a venue that’s happy to have a lively group. We’ve already done that for you.
Our team is there from the moment you arrive just to make sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes so you can actually relax.
What Doesn’t Happen (And Why That’s a Good Thing)
No awkward group introductions. No team-building games. No schedule you’re expected to follow.
You won’t be made to do anything you don’t fancy. There’s structure if you want it, but space if you don’t. Fancy dress is fun, not forced. And there’s no “activity host” rounding you up with a clipboard for something that isn’t your bag.
You choose your pace, whether that’s up on the dance floor, enjoying your resort’s facilities or chilling with a cup of tea.
What’s Not Included (So You Can Plan Ahead)
We keep things as inclusive as possible, but a few things aren’t included so you can budget properly:
Bar drinks are pay-as-you-go.
Day trips or add-on activities (like watersports, golf or paintballing) are optional extras by request.
Transport to the venue isn’t standard, but we can (and often do) organise coach travel for groups depending on location and numbers, and for some of our skittles weekends, travel is included within the price.
We’re up front about what’s included from the start — no surprise extras.
What the Booking Process Looks Like
No faff, no stress. Here’s how it works:
Pick your date and venue – Browse online or call us for a recommendation.
Secure your booking – Pay a deposit and we’ll confirm everything.
We sort the rest – Accommodation, meals, entertainment: all sorted.
Get your itinerary – Around 3–4 weeks before your weekend, we’ll send your full plan.
Just turn up – Pack your bag and get ready to enjoy yourself. That’s it.
Ready to Try It?
We’ve seen people arrive unsure and maybe a bit apprehensive. Then we see them leaving with new friends, big laughs, and stories that last way longer than a weekend. Oh and they’ve often made another booking before they’ve gone home!
So if you’re craving connection, good music, and something a bit different – this is it.
Now you know what to expect from an adult only weekend, all that’s left is to pick your date and pack a bag.
