  Leamington is becoming a little bit of Poland for the weekend of 25-27 September.

Who wouldn’t be a little bit excited by that prospect!

  Rage Rooms Leamington Spa

  Sep 15, 202610 min

  There's rather more to the Rage Rooms than you might first think, as I discovered when I met founder Lucy Bee and her operations manager Fi. Yes of course you can book-in for a smash-and-go session, a team-build, birthday (or even divorce) party. But there is also a serious therapeutic method behind the madness. Lucy explains that as a trained therapist specialising in anger and conflict, she wanted to create a safe space to help people process and gain release from their rage. So whether you're just looking for a bit of a stress-buster, a party with a difference, or have some heavier things to deal with, the Rage Rooms might have the perfect answer for you. https://ragerooms-leamingtonspa.co.uk/
