Went yesterday with a friend and really enjoyed it. Not what we were expecting. Actors were great and if you take your kids let's hope they don't understand what bashing the bishop means 🤣🤣

Had an absolutely brilliant time here with my 3 sisters. We went on a weekday and it was only us 4 there! The women at the front outside dressed as a red jester was really funny and really made us decide to go in. The actors were all amazing! Sometimes funny, other time's scary. The lady that done the plague doctor assistant bit was my favourite, but really, all of them done such an amazing job. Drop ride at the end was a fun ending to an all over very fun visit.

We visited the dungeons on the last show of the day the lady at the front desk/ door was lovely she encouraged us to come in and explained everything. We went through and the actors were brilliant great in character and got the group involved. The back drop and setting were also brilliantly designed and well put together. The only reason for the low rate was the girl working on the drop ride at the end, she was incredibly rude and passive aggressive and totally ruined the experience she just kept saying “I don’t care” when we asked a question, “don’t listen to me then” when someone accidentally went the wrong way then scowled at them and muttered to her coworker, She just said what ever it’s my job I don’t care at all, She wasn’t in character or playing a role she was just being plain rude to everyone.

Absolutely fantastic place to visit, from start to finish the tour was brilliant! The staff was so fantastic all through out the tour! I would definitely recommend this place, but remember to book before as they do get very busy! The pub is lovely to sit and have a drink after as well, and the gift shop is great.
