It’s the weekend and all you can think about is brunch? Same. We got in touch with DesignMyNight for the UK’s best and most unusual brunches let’s just say you’re in for a treat. From bottomless Pornstar Martinis at a world-famous ball pit bar to a Disney-inspired brunch where you can dress up as an actual Princess, here’s the ultimate guide to your favourite meal of the day…

London’s jam-packed with brilliant brunches, but there’s nothing quite like Ballie Ballerson’s. This world-famous ball pit bar hosts bottomless brunch every single weekend and it’ll see you and your friends weaving through one million balls like you’re five years old again, only this time, you’ll be able to drink cocktails. Your two hour slot includes unlimited pizza, endless Pornstar Martinis and free-flowing fizz. What more could you want?

If your hand-eye coordination is flawless and you’re a touch on the competitive side, Bounce is destined to become one of your favourite hangouts. This underground UV lair is one of London’s coolest ping pong bars, and every Sunday they throw a raucous brunch party. Lasting two hours, you can play game after game of ping pong, while making the most of their unlimited prosecco and brunch-inspired pizza. Paddle in one hand, pizza slice in the other - this place is a must-visit.

Tamagotchis, mood rings… the Spice Girls. The ‘90s was the decade that just kept on giving, and if you’d give anything to return to it, we have news for you. The ‘90s Brunch is held in secret locations across London and it’ll take you right back with amazing tunes, lip-sync battles and dance offs. A three-course meal and bottomless cocktails are part and parcel of this quirky day out, so what are you waiting for - Say You’ll Be There?

A flat share minus the worry of someone nicking your last cheesestring? The Little Yellow Door is the answer to your prayers. This kooky bar is inspired by your typical flat share, except you don’t have to clean up or pay soul-crippling rent. Responsible for some of the best nights out in the capital, they also do one of the best brunches around. Opt for London’s largest pancake stack, a full on Mexican breakfast or a delicious beetroot cured salmon bagel, and while you’re at it, wash it all down with their rum-fuelled house punch.

If you’re after a brunch that hits the bullseye, you need to visit Flight Club. This fairground-themed bar hosts brunch parties every weekend, where you can play Social Darts for an entire hour. Get competitive at Snakes & Ladders and show them who’s boss in a game of Quakers, but make sure you make the most of their pizza. You’ll get unlimited slices for 2 hours, and a big bottle of bubbly to help you wash down your crusts.

Forget Prince Charming and forget horse-drawn carriages; we’ve got something much better to help you get your Disney kicks. Wish Upon a Brunch is a fairytale-inspired ball and like any good do, you’ll get three hours of unlimited drinks and a dish from their brunch menu (fittingly, they have Eggs Royale). Dress up as your favourite character and relive your childhood as you interact with actors throughout the day. Just don’t do a Cinderella and lose your shoes on the way home.

Calling all the thirsty ladies, all the thirsty ladies. London’s home to a Beyoncé-inspired brunch and it promises five non-stop hours celebrating Queen B. Taking place in a secret location, this extravaganza will have performances from a world class vocalist (who has appeared in the DreamGirls musical), immersive characters, audience interaction, alongside bottomless cocktails and a two-course brunch. A brunch to fall Crazy in Love with? You betcha.

Eggs and avo just not cutting it anymore? Cue London Shuffle Club. Bang in the middle of bustling Shoreditch, this activity bar is home to the UK’s first ever open air shuffleboard terrace (and it has six indoor lanes if the weatherman decides to rain on your parade). Although it’s worth going down on a regular evening, they host a bottomless brunch with beer and prosecco every weekend. 30 minutes of shuffling and an opportunity to eat as much pizza as your jeans will allow? It’s a game changer.

If you’re after a brunch with a whole lotta soul, dance this way. Manchester’s home to a lively Reggae Brunch where a roster of resident DJs and special guests spin the best in soca, calypso and bashment for five hours straight. Let loose on the dancefloor in between your three-course meal (think jerk chicken, veggie fritters and carrot cake) and arrive early to make the most of their bottomless rum punch.

A bottomless brunch with Espresso Martinis? It actually exists, but depending where you are, it might involve a quick train ride. Dirty Martini in Cardiff host a bottomless brunch every Saturday and in our eyes, it’s more than worth the journey. You’ll be treated to 90 minutes of endless prosecco and your choice of four hand-crafted martinis, alongside a magical bird cage stuffed with cheese arancini, Korean samosas, sweet potato chips and vegetable sushi. Bottoms up.
