THIS MONTH’S HIGHLIGHT
The Magicians Table
The Magicians Table brings together some of the UK’s best magicians who will perform an array of incredible magic right at your table, inches from your nose. The evening has been curated so that you’ll see a mixture of close up magic unlike anywhere else. Drinks are served throughout the evening, live music is the soundtrack of your night and you’ll be told an original tale of love, loss and mystery. Book it here.
Enigma Quest Escape Room Arcade
Escape Arcade is a thrilling, competitive, and replayable new experience in the heart of London. Across 30 diverse rooms, your team will be transported to locations both ordinary and extraordinary, facing tests of your dexterity, deduction, and collaboration. Whether fighting monsters in a child’s bedroom, solving riddles in a library, or launching a rocket ship from mission control, you’ll never know what’s behind the next door! Supporting dozens of players simultaneously, teams of 2-4 will compete against friends, family, and colleagues, tracking their scores through RFID-enabled leaderboards and our mobile app. Each challenge takes around 5 minutes, allowing you to enjoy a huge range of games within an hour, or to aim for the highest score possible on your favourites! Book it here.
1984 Immersive
Be drawn into the world of Orwell’s iconic novel, brought to life in a site-specific performance in the magnificent Hackney Town Hall. After a sell-out run in 2023 this production returns under the new direction of Jack Reardon. Don’t miss this unique and powerful reimagining of 1984. Book it here.
LONDON’S IMMERSIVE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCES
Acid Bath Murder Experience
The Acid Bath Murderer Experience invites you to re-live the life of the notorious serial killer: John George Haigh. The journey will take you through a number of 360 degree immersive sets full of special effects. You won’t just be a bystander though. The Acid Bath Murderer Experience is fully interactive, featuring Escape Game style challenges and puzzles to deepen the narrative. Hounds who are behind it, are an award winning immersive-experience-meets-escape-game production company. Their previous experiences are amongst the Top 500 escape rooms in the world, and I can see why! Their venue in Crawley is super easy to get to them from London via a quick train, and I can guarantee you that you won’t regret it. Book it here.
Candlelight
Concerts illuminated by candlelight? I’m definitely in! Fever has recently launched Candlelight, affordable and intimate concerts performed by live musicians in some of the most iconic venues in London that transport you to a fairytale. I had the chance to attend a concert in the beautiful conservatory in Syon Park to listen to City String Ensemble play Movie Soundtrack Disney classics, and I might have shed a tear or two. Book it here.
