How long is the experience?

Your experience will last for around 1 hour 50 mins, including a 20 minute interval in The Red Weed Bar. We also have our very own steampunk themed bar - The Spirit of Man, where you can enjoy drinks and delicious meals before and after your experience.

Will it be scary?

Don’t worry, it’s a fun experience and most people don’t find it too scary. There are some surprises, shocks, and moments of suspense but it’s not too scary overall.

Having always liked War Of the Worlds my partner bought tickets for the show for Christmas present. But also bought this Immersive experience. Absolutely brilliant from soon entered building to the end. Staff really friendly, helpful and welcoming. Loved big Martian in the middle and the pictures that were alive. The experience was so much fun and the actors were so brilliant and fun. Something I've always enjoyed and to be part of it. They told the story so well. VR on the boat and in the booth and on hot air balloon just amazing. Enjoyed so much already can't wait to do again. The bar was pricey but is to be expected as what entails. Excellent experience. Would absolutely recommend

Wow, what a fun experience! I didn't know anything about the war of the world's before. I highly recommend listening to the soundtrack before if you don't know anything about the plot. It's a really Immersive Experience which really draws you into the story, and they encourage visitor interaction. All the staff are really passionate and the actors are fantastic at what they do! There's a great bar/restaurant too, which is all themed, and they serve a delicious range of food and tasty cocktails!

The experience was really good, could not fault the actors/back stage crew. The mixture of VR and live action made the experience along with the music. My grandson aged 10 found some parts scarely but the crew helped him through that and it was his first experience of VR which he loved. The bar areas were interesting especially sitting waiting our turn. The drinks and food were reasonably priced, and photos at the end of the experience were a good price for additional ones. If I have to give a con it would be that people were not signing the T&C's on arrival(even though you were told to, so maybe a reminder poster on the wall in the waiting bar would help, just that we notice it holds up the experience waiting for people to do it before they go in. Well worth the money for the 2 hours!

War of the Worlds is an incredible themed bar that combines a vibrant atmosphere with the exciting the war of the worlds experience. The decor is immersive, full of details that transport you into another world. The staff is welcoming, the music sets a great vibe, and there’s plenty to explore even outside the main attractions. Whether you're tackling the escape room or simply enjoying drinks in the stunningly designed space, it’s an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend it for a fun night out or a unique group activity! Look into the website first!

What a mind blowing experience. I'm a huge fan of the album and the live stage show and wasn't sure how this was going to be - BUT IT IS AWESOME!!! So clever so fun. Just wanted to go straight back and do it again. No spoilers so if you want to know, you'll just have to come yourself! 10stars and then some
