London: The 90s Brunch Barbie Special
Just when you thought this iconic decade couldn't get any better, The 90s Brunch throws a Barbie special into the mix. Not only will there be a themed quiz and lip-sync contests with prizes come Saturday 5th August, but you can expect Aqua's 1997 hit Barbie Girl on the playlist - alongside other bangers from the era. To add to all that entertainment, enjoy a two-course meal and an hour of unlimited cocktails.
London: Barbie Brunch
Impossible Things UK has teamed up with The Black Lion to bring you this brilliant Barbie Brunch. Taking place at the Hampstead hotspot, it'll feature lip-smacking food plus two hours of bottomless bevs, including beer, wine, bubbles and the option to upgrade to cocktails. As for entertainment? Expect live music from the movie, not to mention games, quizzes and more.
London: Rooftop Film Club
The ultimate choice of Barbie movie experiences in London this 2023 is Rooftop Film Club. Not only will you get treated to mega views across a themed takeover from 10th to 14th August, but your sunset showing at the iconic Bussey Building also includes exploring the pink paradise. Think a life-sized set-up of palm trees, pool inflatables and disco balls, as well as a Chevy car bar worthy of Barbie herself.
Manchester: Sunset By Australasia
With interiors that could be taking a leaf right out of the Barbie DreamHouse look book, Sunset By Australasia is a pink haven that all fans will love. It's not just the inside channelling all things blush either, as there's a balmy terrace, drinks, sushi bento boxes and afternoon teas following the aesthetic too. It's giving #Barbiecore vibes.
Manchester: The Barbie Party
You'll never want to leave Barbieland after cutting some shapes at The Barbie Party in Manchester this July. The campest of club nights for gathering all your doll-friends in their finest pink attire, it's playing the 'ultimate Barbie megamix' - that's songs from the movie and other pop-tastic throwbacks. Forget tens across the board, this event gets all Kens.
Birmingham: Tonight Josephine
A Barbie bar in Birmingham thanks to its bright magenta look, Tonight Josephine is a party palace for cocktails served in disco balls and a soundtrack of pop princesses bringing that extra slice of girl power. Remember to check out the photo booth with all your gal pals too, where Barbie and Ken's movie mugshots can serve as inspiration.
Birmingham: Barbie Quiz
Swap your Barbie movie cinema event in the UK for a quiz at the Old Crown. Make sure you've got your trivia brain in gear, as questions here will span everything from the film itself to the famous toys. It'll only set you back a fiver for a ticket, but you'll have the chance of winning some amazing themed prizes. Sign us up.
Liverpool: Papillon
Papillon's peony-coloured frontage, cute Parisian-style streetside tables and subtle blush interiors would surely catch Barbie's eye on her adventures in the real world. On your visit, you can glug rose sangria sharers or Raspberry Ripple cocktails, all while tucking into pan-fried salmon and chilli-garlic king prawns. Did you notice that all those menu items are pink too?
London: Girlfriend
Fancy ditching your Ken? Girlfriend is the perfect pick - it's literally in the name. A gold-tiled bar, bright walls and plush velvet seating make up the main look, alongside one-of-a-kind art that pairs old portraiture with pink, graffitied faces. As for Barbie-worthy drinks? The signature martini here features a rose as garnish, while a mezcal, tequila and hibiscus number starts the party.
Glasgow: Come On Barbie, Let's Go Party
To see Barbie and Ken in the flesh? Check out Come On Barbie, Let's Go Party at The Corinthian come Friday 28th July. Your £35 ticket includes the feel-good duo performing pop hits for your entertainment in the regal-look space, all while you munch light bites and sip through your arrival cocktail.
Sheffield: Barbie Pop Party
Barbie Pop Party comes to the The Leadmill on Friday 28th July, promising pink neon lights, themed decor and more to transport you into the glitz of Barbieland. Throw on your best fancy dress and shimmy over to get down to the likes of Spice Girls, Britney, Lizzo and Harry Styles. You know it's got Ken's seal of approval.
