London party experts, Book A Party, shares the top activities to help you make memories that will last.
Beer Tasting
For dads who appreciate a good pint (or perhaps a little more), a beer-tasting experience is a fantastic way to spend the day. London has a great variety of craft beer breweries, many of which offer guided tours complete with tastings of their best brews. Some even pair their beers with mouth-watering snacks or small bites. Whether he’s a craft beer aficionado or just enjoys a cold lager, this laid-back experience is perfect for raising a glass together and discovering new flavours.
Escape Room
If your dad’s the kind of guy who loves a challenge, an escape room will keep him on his toes. These interactive puzzle games are a great bonding experience for the whole family or just a fun duo adventure. Whether it’s cracking codes, searching for hidden clues, or trying to break free before time runs out, escape rooms are thrilling, fast-paced, and a great way to test your teamwork skills. Plus, if he’s the one to solve the final puzzle, it’ll feel like a major win.
Axe Throwing
For a dad who’s up for something unique and adventurous, axe throwing could be just the thing. It might sound a bit wild, but it’s an absolute blast and surprisingly easy to get the hang of. London has plenty of venues offering fun, safe axe-throwing sessions, and many places even have coaches to guide you through the experience. It’s a great way to blow off some steam, try something completely new, and snag some epic action shots while you’re at it.
Jedi Training
For the Star Wars-loving dad, there’s an experience that’ll have him feeling like a true Jedi. Jedi training classes (yes, they exist.) let you wield a lightsaber and learn combat moves, just like in the movies. It’s quirky, fun, and just a little bit nostalgic. Plus, you can get him a lightsaber as a keepsake to remember his moment as a galactic hero. Whether you’re duelling or perfecting your skills, it’s an awesome way to indulge his inner geek and have a laugh together.
Bottomless Brunch
If your dad’s a foodie, a bottomless brunch is a no-brainer. Picture this: delicious food, unlimited mimosas or Bloody Marys, and great conversation. From classic full English breakfasts to inventive avocado toasts and pancakes, there’s no shortage of brunch options in London. Some venues even offer themed brunches with live jazz, 80s disco vibes, or even drag shows. Pick a spot that fits his style and let the good times roll.
Cooking Class
For dads who love to cook (or just enjoy watching cooking shows), why not sign him up for a cooking class? There are tons of options in London, from pasta-making classes to mastering the art of BBQ or learning to whip up a perfect Thai dish. It’s hands-on, fun, and the best part is that you get to eat what you make at the end. Plus, if he’s really into it, you might just discover a new family recipe to pass down for years to come.
Go Karting
For a dad who’s got a need for speed, go-karting is the ultimate thrill. There are indoor and outdoor tracks around London where you can race against each other, testing your driving skills in a high-speed competition. It’s a fun, competitive activity that’ll have both of you laughing and in high spirits the entire time. Whether it’s your first time or you’ve both been before, it’s sure to make for an exciting day out.
Fishing Trip
If your dad enjoys some peace and quiet, a day of fishing could be the perfect way to unwind. There are plenty of spots around London where you can fish, whether it’s in one of the city’s parks or at a tranquil lakeside retreat just outside the city. Bring along a picnic and enjoy a relaxing day on the water while chatting, laughing, and maybe even catching a few fish. It’s a simple but memorable way to spend quality time together.
Whatever activity you choose, the goal is to make sure Dad feels appreciated. After all, Father’s Day is all about showing gratitude for everything he does. So go ahead and plan something fun because this year, Dad deserves more than just a tie.
