It’s time to practice your swing and perfect your stance as the baseball cages have landed in town! Powered by technology and fuelled by food and cocktails, the team behind the popular Sixes cricket concept have now brought us a brand-new sport for our social outings. Moonshot is here to give an injection of baseballing prowess to the capital, giving you the chance to rack up points on your leaderboards for the hardest hits.
The aim is simple: gather up your group, get into teams, and aim to score as many points as possible at the cages of the Shepherd’s Bush venue. Of course, while it’s a sporting activity, it’s also a social occasion at its heart – so there will be plenty of cocktails and tasty dishes to keep you going in between home run shots.
Moonshot Baseball
Just like Sixes catering for your level of batting, Moonshot delivers an immersive baseball concept that doesn’t discriminate between rookie or Major League players. You can waltz in with any level of confidence and still leave the cage feeling like you’ve channelled a batter for the Boston Red Sox.
Having just launched with an exhilarating Innings mode, Moonshot simply challenges players to score as many runs as possible to build their score on the leaderboards. A semi-pro mode called Home Run Derby, however, is coming in January for those who have polished their skills in the easier mode to its maximum potential.
Moonshot offers a healthy selection of packages to cater for any size of group – including those coming in a party of more than 30! It’s a spot that works just as well for a team-building social with your colleagues as it would for a memorable birthday party for your little ones.
Food and drinks at Moonshot
As well as getting to head into the batting cages, players at Moonshot will eat and drink as they would beside the pitch at a baseball game in the States. Tuck into a gourmet hot dog, loaded up high with everything from sauerkraut & Swiss Cheese to kimchi & crispy onion. Pick up a giant 20″ pizza to share with the group and satisfy the sweet tooth with some churros to finish or an indulgent Moonshot shake to wash the grub down.
Cocktails are also on the agenda, with each number telling their own story of a nook in America as well as a hearty selection of beers and wine available. You’ll be able to select different food and drinks packages when you’re planning your visit, and Moonshot even shows live sports for you to take a break in between shots, swig on your beer and cheer on your team all in one space.
