Expect nothing short of guaranteed fun as you climb aboard and climb inside the BBC’s iconic TV show and experience it from the inside out… this completely immersive and highly interactive experience is a comedy spectacular where anything can happen… and usually does!
– ‘Immersive theatre at its startling best’ ★★★★★ Best of Theatre, London West End
– ‘A two-hour eat, drink and laugh sensation’ ★★★★★ The Daily Telegraph
– Straight from London’s West End via the legendary Sydney Opera House, this international sensation has been specially adapted to be performed on a moving steam train and is returning to the Bolton & Embsay Steam Railway in June 2023.
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is the world’s most sought after tribute to the BBC sitcom and is simply ‘fantastic!’ (What’s on Stage) and ‘outrageously funny!’ (BroadwayBaby).
Born in Australia in 1997, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience has been receiving critical and audience acclaim ever since. It’s appeared in 41 countries over the years, and tours constantly in Australia, Europe, Scandinavia and Asia. It also returns for extended seasons every year to Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide Fringe, and Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and has an ongoing residency in London’s West End. And having recently sold its millionth ticket, it’s clear that this is the most successful interactive comedy show of its kind.
The cast for the Bolton & Embsay Steam Railway features Rebecca Norris (Sybil), David Tremaine (Basil) and Andrew Gruen (Manuel).
